HBin5: Avocado Guacamole Bread
March 15, 2010 | Print | E-mail | Filed under bread, hbin5
For this month’s HBin5, I decided to try out the avocado guacamole bread. Like Michelle, I also thought that the loaf would turn out to be slightly green, but it wasn’t. Still, it had a very interesting flavor. I made a half recipe of the bread, and while I can’t say I was all that crazy about it, I’m glad I tried it out. I think what I wasn’t too fond of was the tomato flavor in the bread – I don’t usually put tomatoes in regular guacamole in the first place, so perhaps that’s why. If you love tomatoes and guacamole, then this is a great bread for you!
In a large bowl, mix together the avocado, tomato, and garlic. Then, add in the water.
In a large container, whisk together the dry ingredients.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Let rise for 2 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven. Usually I use a baking stone, but this time I placed the dough in a lightly greased loaf pan.
Bake about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Nice job, Tracy! I haven’t done any of my March challenges (too busy prepping for my mom’s 90th b-day party, yesterday!) but I’ll get back to it, soon! I think you verified what I suspected about this one, though. Very pretty, though!

Your bread looks great! Too bad you didn’t like it. I liked it better as pizza myself.

I’m sorry you didn’t like this bread. We loved it here but I made it into focaccia and it was wonderful for sandwiches. Your loaf looks very pretty.

This looks like a great base for savory bruschettas with olives and cheese…pesto, mmm! I think I´d love it. Thanks for sharing.

Avocado bread?? Now, that’s really interesting.. I really wouldn’t have thought bread and guacamole go together ..

How interesting!!! Wow. I’m tempted to try it just because it’s so different. I don’t normally put tomatoes in my guacamole either.

Wonderful looking loaf! So many different ideas for this bread, it was hard to make a decision on what to make with it!

Your pictures came out great. Looks yummy!

I think I would like this tomatoes and all! We are HUGE guacamole fans here, with or without tomatoes!

maybe some dried onions or simply none will do the trick if you are going to try again?

i meant tomatoes. my mind is not here

I don’t know if I would like this bread or not. I do love guacamole… pizza dough or bruschetta might be really good with it. Way to be adventurous!

I have the book and have wondered about that recipe! Now I really want to try it–the loaf is beautiful and looks delicious…plus, I LOVE tomatoes in my guacamole.

This sounds like it would be really good for a club sandwich!

Could it be true? Avocado… Guacamole… in bread?! I love it. Definitely worth a try!

I am wondering where I can find the recipe with measurements on this bread recipe?
