Featured Product
Ricotta di Campagna
A mild and creamy taste with pleasant, soft, fluffy curds that melt in your mouth. Ricotta di campagna is made with an added touch of rich cream. It lends itself to a variety of culinary uses.
Ingredients
For the bread
- 250 mL (1 cup) all-purpose flour
- 125 mL (1/2 cup) whole-wheat flour
- 180 mL (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 5 mL (1 tsp) baking powder
- 2 mL (1/2 tsp) baking soda
- 2 mL (1/2 tsp) allspice
- 1 mL (1/4 tsp) sea salt
- 2 ripe, medium-sized bananas, peeled and mashed (about 250 mL / 1 cup banana puree)
- 125 mL (1/2 cup) Saputo Ricotta di Campagna
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp olive or canola oil
- 5 mL (1 tsp) pure vanilla extract
- 250 mL (1 cup) shredded zucchini, squeezed dry using paper towels
- 90 mL (1/3 cup) chopped walnuts or pecans, or chocolate chips (optional)
For the glaze
- 125 mL (1/2 cup) powdered sugar
- 15 mL (1 tbsp) milk
- 5 mL (1 tsp) pure vanilla extract
Directions
- For the bread: Lightly grease a 23 x 13-cm loaf pan. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, and salt. In a second bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, Saputo Ricotta di Campagna, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and, using a spatula, stir until just combined. Add the shredded zucchini and nuts or chocolate chips, if desired, and fold until just combined.
- Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake the bread for about 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. (Cover the bread with aluminum foil during baking if it darkens too quickly.) Transfer to a baking rack and cool completely.
- For the glaze: Whisk the ingredients together in a bowl. Drizzle over the bread, then let rest for a few minutes for the glaze to set. Slice and serve.
