Green Tomato Bread Recipe
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
Yield: 2 loaves
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 1/2 | cups flour |
| 2 1/2 | teaspoons baking powder |
| 1 | teaspoon baking soda |
| 1/2 | teaspoon salt |
| 1 | cup brown sugar |
| 2 | teaspoons cinnamon |
| 1 | teaspoon nutmeg |
| 1/4 | teaspoon ginger |
| 1 | tablespoon molasses |
| 3 | tablespoons honey |
| 1/2 | cup green tomato puree |
| 1 | cup eggs, beaten |
| 2 | teaspoons vanilla extract |
| 1 | cup walnuts, chopped |
| 1 | cup raisins |
Instructions:
-
Sift together dry ingredients – In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This step helps to ensure that there are no lumps and that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Add remaining ingredients – To the bowl, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, molasses, honey, green tomato puree, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, chopped walnuts, and raisins.
-
Beat to mix well – Using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon, beat the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and a smooth batter forms. Make sure there are no pockets of dry ingredients left.
-
Prepare loaf pans – Grease and flour two 8 by 3 3/4 inch loaf pans to prevent the bread from sticking to the pans.
-
Pour batter into pans – Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
-
Let rest – Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes before baking. This allows the ingredients to meld together and ensures a better texture in the finished bread.
-
Make a slit – Using a sharp knife, make a slit along the center of each loaf from end to end. This helps the bread to rise evenly during baking.
-
Bake – Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and bake the loaves for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and serve – Once baked, remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
