banana and nutella bread

This bread was inspired by an episode of "The Naked Chef" that I watched on the Asian Food Channel. In that episode, Jaime Oliver was at a beach resort with some of his staff. Naturally, he did all the cooking/baking.

In the episode, Jaime Oliver rolled out the dough, spread it with what looked to me like Nutella, sprinkled liberal amounts of sliced bananas and chopped peanuts, rolled up the dough and formed a ring.

In my case, I rolled up the dough to form a log. The dough continued to rise tremendously after I rolled it up and this may have caused the pockets of empty space that you see in the photograph below. I wonder whether the problem would be solved if I had formed a ring (like the way Jaime Oliver did) after I rolled up the dough? I shall have to give this a try.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 cups warm milk
1 egg (lightly beaten)
2 tbsp butter (softened)
1/4 cup honey
3/4 tsp salt
3 3/4 cups bread flour

Nutella hazelnut spread
2 bananas (sliced)
chopped peanuts

METHOD

1. Place all the ingredients (except the bread flour, yeast, Nutella hazelnut spread, banana and chopped peanuts) in the bucket of the breadmaker machine.

2. Add the bread flour, making sure that the wet ingredients are totally covered.

3. Add the yeast.

4. Place the bucket in the breadmaker machine and set to "dough" cycle. Start the cycle.

5. When the cycle has been completed, turn the dough onto a floured board. Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape.

6. Spread the Nutella hazelnut spread onto the rolled out dough. Place the slices of the bananas onto the dough and sprinkle liberal amounts of chopped peanuts.

7. Roll up the dough to form a log.

8. Place the dough on a baking tray that has been lined with baking paper.

9. Cover the baking tray with a dry cloth and leave for 1 hour.

10. Bake in an oven preheated to 185 degrees celsius for 30 minutes.
