mango loaf

The streaks that you see in the photographs of the slices of bread in this post were created by the mixing of the cubed mango in the breadmaker machine during the dough process.

The taste of the mango in this bread is not overpowering and as such, this bread tastes wonderful when lightly toasted and spread with some butter / margarine.

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup honey
2 1/4 tbsp butter (softened)
3/4 tsp salt
3 cups bread flour
2 1/4 tsp instant dry yeast
1/3 cup mango flesh (cubed)

METHOD

1. Place all the ingredients (except the bread flour, yeast and mango) 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. 10 minutes into the cycle, add the cubed mango without stopping the cycle. Let the cycle continue.

6. When the cycle has been completed, turn the dough onto a floured board. The dough may be a little sticky but bear with the stickiness and knead the dough about 5 times.

7. Place the dough in a loaf pan that has been greased and lined with baking paper.

8. Cover the dough with a dry cloth and leave for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.

9. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees celsius for 35 minutes.
