I've just made a batch of Banana Bread using a recipe that calls for plain flour. The village shop only had strong white flour - is this going to work? I've just put a batch of 6 in the oven and I'm worried.

The strong flour is rich in gluten so it can be stretched in the kneading process to make good bread. However, if you just bang it in a cake there shouldn't be a problem. You can let us know soon anyway, can't you!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Shouldn't be any problems but don't use normal flour in bread as that won't work well.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

We use cheap bread flour and semolina to make pasta, it comes out much a nicer mix than using ordinary plain flour.
btw how was your Banana Bread?Location....East Midlands.Comment

Fab, filled the freezer with a big batch. Have lots more ripe bananas - plan on making some more later today. This is the recipe I use that others seem to enjoy.

I am experimenting with a genuine banana BREAD. I've replaced some of the liquid in a bread recipe with very over-ripe bananas, added a few dried apricots, and it is in the breadmaker even as I type. Will report back results once I've tried it (If I don't, you'll know it didn't work).Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

That's not fair you've got to tell us either way.

It worked OK. Didn't rise as much as I had hoped, but tastes pretty good!
It's amazing what you can get away with adding to bread!Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

tee hee, try this! ordinary white bread dough 1lb lump out of the mixer, on floured surface, roll out one way, long, 14"x6" spread with as much branston as you dare, sprinkle with grated cheese, roll up place on baking sheet, egg wash and slash diagonaly not too deep, prove and bake @ 400f til golden as they say or when the bottom sounds hollow when knocked(do not test early it will stick to youOriginally posted by Hilary B View Post), alternatively diced peppers, cheese and onion/pickled onion, herbs, cajun spice, ground black pepper the list is endless only limited by your imagination and your courage.
