Title: Date & Ginger Loaf
Post by Derek on Aug 23^rd, 2009 at 5:04pm

Fired up a camp oven this afternoon and cooked up a variation of the Bungleboori Bread recipe that I have been using for quite some time. Turned out quite good.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups Self Raising Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons castor sugar
100 grams chopped dates
100 grams chopped glazed ginger
300 ml ginger beer

METHOD
Mix dry ingredients and fruit well. Pour ginger beer into a bowl and mix in the dry ingredients one large spoonfull at a time until all is well mixed. Place into a well greased loaf pan and bake in a medium/hot oven for 35 minutes. I used a 12" Lodge oven with 6 Heat Beads® under and 18 Heat Beads® on top in a ring.

Mixture going in the oven

Count the number of Heat Beads® and note the ring around the lid

Lifting the lid after 30 minutes

Cooling on a cake rack

HOW'S THAT FOR CAMP OVEN TUCKER!!!

Looks very good to me Derek,
Not being a lover of dates.( the bride loves them) Could I use mixed fruit instead?

Could use anything I would imagine. The original recipe was just sultanas. Chopped apricots would be a nice one as well.

I made this again today but swapped out the dates for sultanas. Used my new little Jamie Oliver loaf tin.

Very nice indeed
