SMALL BREAD LOAF RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven at 300 degrees F.
• Place your egg whites in a stand mixer with the cream of tartar and whip until stiff peaks. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Set aside.
• Place the egg yolks in a bowl with the remaining ingredients and whisk and stir well to combine.
• Fold in a small amount of egg whites into the yolk mixture a little at a time until it's all incorporated.
• Pour this into a greased loaf pan.
• Bake on the middle shelf of oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick or skewer stick in the center comes out clean. (See notes above if you are making rolls, cooking time changes.) Shut the oven off but do not open the door and allow it to stay 10 more minutes in the oven.
• Allow to cool completely. To help prevent some deflating in the center you could lay the pan on its side for 30 minutes then lay on the other side for 30 minutes.
• Best if toasted. See storage instructions above.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3. Grease and line a 450g/1lb loaf tin with non-stick baking parchment.
• Use a fork to mash the peeled banana in a mixing bowl. Add the remaining cake ingredients (except the chocolate chips) and beat with an electric hand whisk until combined and smooth.
• Stir in the chocolate chips and spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf tin. Level the top.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until well risen, shrinking away from the sides of the tin and golden-brown.
• Set aside to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.
• For the decoration, break the chocolate into small pieces and add to a heatproof bowl.
• Melt the chocolate in the bowl over a pan of simmering water (ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water). Stir regularly, until almost completely melted, then remove from the heat. The heat of the bowl will melt any remaining lumps.
• Spoon the melted chocolate into a piping bag and pipe zig-zags across the top of the loaf. Set aside for the chocolate to set. Slice and serve.
