I baked a yeasted banana bread, according to my recipe it was based on "Banana Feather Loaf" on page 271 in "The Bread Bible" by Rosy Levy Bernabaum. It has 2 mashed bananas and buttermilk. The recipe was adapted by me to use all whole wheat flour and no additional sweetener. I had made the previous week a normal baking soda quick banana bread for a friend who was diabetic and wanted to see what this would taste like it it didn't have sugar or honey. It had a very subtle taste and a smooth texture.
The previous week's normalish banana bread had a rougher texture, I think thats because the banana was just mashed and not kneaded throughly into the dough. It tasted nice with cream cheese, a bit boring without it.

I guessed correctly.

I missed that. There weren't many bees around this spring, but now that the Chinese Chives are in bloom, I see more bees visiting those flowers. Also a lot of butterflies.

Happy Birthday Mike.
I bake my English Muffins and the dough is about as firm as a normal bread dough, definately firmer than a focaccio dough. I don't get the big holes and I really don't miss them. How much butter do you need on an English Muffin anyway? A smooth surface makes it easier to spread jelly.

I missed that. I had it narrowed down to two and chose the wrong one.

On English Muffins, I try to divide the dough evenly. I normally start by forming into a log and try to subdivide into 9 pieces, but it never works out perfectly. I always have several muffins over size and several undersize.

I baked currant - candied orange peel quick bread in my slw cooker. It took 2 1/2 hours.

I did a chocolate cinnamon quick bread in the slow cooker this morning. Came out fine after about 2 1/2 hours.

Chocomouse;
I thought you had 14 English Muffins last time. I am surprise the recipe only uses 4 cups of flour. I use 4 cups of flour in my recipe and it is suppose to make 8 muffins and actually makes 9.
