Yumm! Cardamom in banana bread really seems a different concept, but I think I’m out. I may have to restock and try this…. I found out walnuts really makes a difference when I had ben out of them for a while. Pecans were OK but didn’t provide the same taste and texture experience.
…I’m starting to think it’s possible to make bread out of almost any leftovers —
Do you remember that meatloaf I posted about? After the 2nd one with squash cooked under it was removed, I ended up with squash left over in cooking broth. To this, I added potato cooking broth that I had saved, the remainder of the pasta sauce with roasted garlic that was left in the jar after using for the meatloaf recipe, and the meat juices from the first meatloaf after removing the grease, and cooked them on SOUP and left it to “Keep Warm” until next morning, then added cubed purple sweet potato and leftover cooked rice from the freezer and made porridge.
When that had been kept warm and had no more takers, I let it cool down and added some sugar, a glug of cultured bubbling home made mixed grain rice milk (I.e. active rice yeast), bread flour, whole wheat flour, and instant dry yeast, plant based shredded Mexican cheese mix; proofed and let it rise; then tweaked with additional flours until dough started to behave, then stretch -and-pulled into a ball, used the saved meatloaf grease to “oil” and turn over in the instant pot inner pot; and proofed again.
Formed into these muffin pan “dinner roll” balls and larger “burger bun” balls, let them double, and baked at 375°F.
Amazing fluffy soft, flavorful rolls. Could have added a little sea salt to the dough I think, but probably for the best since hubby needs to restrict salt intake.
I had my *2nd* warm from the oven dinner roll with unsalted butter and Himalayan pink salt.

. DD1 got one hot and DD2, after eating one of the dinner rolls, came up to tell me she “couldn’t get all of the burger bun rolls in the storage bag” like I asked her to do after they cooled down, and decided to have a sandwich with the “One (that) won’t fit.”
