Frequently Asked Questions?
1)Why is my banana bread so dense?
The more you mix your banana bread batter, the more gluten is developing in the bread – which is great for a yeast-risen, chewy loaf, but not so great when you're hoping for a tender, soft quick bread. An over mixed banana bread batter will result in a dense, rubbery loaf.
2)How do you keep banana bread moist?
- Cool the bread completely.
- Place a paper towel in the bottom of an airtight storage container OR in an airtight bag. Then place the cooled loaf on top of it.
- Cover the bread with another paper towel.
- Seal.
3)Should you refrigerate banana bread?
Banana bread should always be kept in plastic wrap, tin foil, or an airtight container to keep it from drying out or going bad quickly. You can extend the life of your banana bread up to about a week by refrigerating it. If you'd like to freeze your banana bread, use freezer wrap or a heavy freezer bag.
4)How long does banana bread stays fresh?
- Banana bread stays good for 2 to 3 days when stored in a air tight container at room temperature.
- If you store in fridge, you can keep it for a week in a air tight container in fridge. You can warm in microwave for 10 seconds when serving.
- If you are freezing banana bread. Cool it down, wrap in plastic wrap and then foil and freeze for more than a month. Thaw it in fridge the day before serving. You can warm in microwave or in toaster.
"You can slice the bread, pop it in a toaster and toast. Spread butter all over it and enjoy for breakfast, with a cup of tea or coffee."
