I had some dried persimmons, raisins and chestnuts from Japan and I thought that they would be nice in a loaf of bread, but I didn't want to make kneaded, yeast bread to try my idea out. I opted to make a simple banana bread (my Mom's recipe) and add the chopped fruits and nuts. My cooking experiment turned out attractive and yummy. The recipe usually makes one large loaf but I divided the batter into two small loaves...one to try and one to freeze for later. Because I like giving baked goods for gifts, I am happy that this test bake was a success. Time is always short during the holidays so having a quick but special looking treat to give to friends and family is always swonderful. To me, baking like crafting is full of experiments. Please share the results of your creative ideas!
