Outdoor Coffee Banana bread recipe
Coffee Sourdough Bread
Origin: Mel Varvel from Precision Fuel & Hydration @precisionfandh
Ingredients for your coffee-packed bread
For the dough:
- 125g Sourdough Starter
- 350ml water
- 400g Strong White Bread Flour
- 100g Strong Wholemeal Bread Flour
- 10g Salt dispersed in 2 tbsp hot water
optional: honey or agave syrup for sweetener.
For the add-ins:
- 50g Quality Dark Chocolate
- 1 tbsp NoNormal Coffee Paste (to taste)
- 25g+ NoNormal Coffee Paste (heated or mixed with 1 tbsp hot water so that it's more easily spreadable)
- 25g chopped walnuts
Simple directions
Step 1
Prepare the sourdough as usual (I mix ripe starter with cold water, then add the flour and mix (autolyse). I leave it covered for an hour, then disperse the salt in a small amount of water and knead it into the dough. Perform 4 'stretch and folds' every 30 mins for 2 hours, then leave to bulk ferment.
Step 2
While the dough is proofing, heat the chocolate in a bain-marie or microwave and add the NoNormal to taste. It may 'seize' but that's okay! Use a spatula to tip the coffee/chocolate mixture onto a silicone mat or greaseproof paper. Once the chocolate has set, chop it into small pieces and mix it with the chopped walnuts.
Step 3
Once the dough has reached the end of its bulk fermentation, tip it out onto the counter, cover and leave to rest for ~20 mins
Step 4
Stretch the dough into a small rectangle and then incorporate the add-ins using the lamination method...so 'paint' the coffee paste onto the dough and scatter on some of the chocolate/walnut pieces between folds and rolling while shaping the bread. The aim is to keep the paste and the nuts/ chocolate on the 'inside'.
Step 5
Put the shaped loaf into a banneton and let it proof for a second time (either in the fridge or on the counter).
Step 6
Then bake as usual (for me, that's preheating the oven with a Dutch Oven in it to 240°C, then tipping out the proofed loaf onto a baking sheet, scoring it, and placing it in the Dutch Oven for 20 mins. When 20 mins are up, remove the lid, turn the oven temp down to 200°C, and bake for a further 25 mins.
Et voilà! Your sourdough Coffee is ready to kickstart your morning. With this powerhouse bread, you’re all set for any challenge that comes your way!
Easy DIY coffee-packed outdoor snack
Category: this recipe falls into the category of snacks.
Ingredients for your coffee-packed snack
- 140g fine cut oats
- 70g e.g. almonds
- 30g peanut butter
- 3-4 Dates
- 50ml of vegan milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tube NoNormal coffee paste
optional: honey or agave syrup for sweetener.
Simple directions
Step 1
Add the oats to a bowl and pour the vegan milk over them, ensuring they're fully covered. Let the mixture rest for a few minutes to absorb the liquid, then set it aside for later use.
Step 2
Add the nuts to a pan and toast them over medium heat until they are lightly golden and fragrant.
Step 3
While the nuts are toasting, shortly soak the dates in hot water to soften them.
Step 4
Combine the toasted nuts, peanut butter, dates, and a touch of NoNormal coffee in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until it reaches your preferred level of crunchiness.
Step 5
Mix the nut-date-coffee mixture into the oat mixture. The texture should be though and not too sticky. Put the mixture into a tin. We recommend using parchment paper as base and a plastic spatula to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the tin into the refrigerator for a few hours. This helps to later cut the mixture into bars.
Step 7
Once set, slice into bars of your preferred size. Optionally, top with some chocolate for an extra treat!
Et voilà! Your Energy Bars are ready to power you through your next outdoor adventure. With this powerhouse snack, you’re all set for any challenge that comes your way!
