that sounds good. the only thing i would change is butter for margarine since i hate that stuff but it sounds really tasty!

this sounds good, i would eliminate the salt.

The salt is to enhance the flavors when baking. Can you make baked goods without them? Probably. Will they taste as good? Probably not.

i've eliminated salt in all my baking for a decade or more and haven't had any complaints.

DeChayz · September 10th, 2009, 03:25 PM

I can taste the difference.
But as long as you enjoy it, that's all that matters, eh?

zigzag · September 10th, 2009, 05:01 PM

righto.

I thought I learned in Home Ec. that salt was necessary when baking because it stopped yeast production and kept bread from over-rising? I suppose that's not a problem with quick breads.

Self-rising flour already has baking powder and salt added.

Both baking powder and baking soda having salt (sodium) in them, so you essentially aren't eliminating salt.

Yum. Think this would work in 2 mini-loaf pans?

Thanks for posting. If this works it's a candidate for teacher gifts at Christmas. I'm cheaping out this year and giving them homemade baked goods. A little sprinkle with confectioners sugar and wrap it up in pretty plastic with a bow and it looks professional. Ooooh, I just had a great thrifty idea to go along with that...buy an inexpensive small basket and tuck the wrapped baked goods inside

Oh, and I'd rather do butter (natural) than margarine (processed).

hotncmom - since the pan says "oblong", you could probably get 3 of the minis or a regular size loaf pan. 2 may overflow.
