Tuesdays with Dorie - Mango Bread

This week is a fresh mango bread, chosen by Kelly, of the cute blog, "Baking with Boys". It's a very moist quick bread full of mango pieces and raisins. It's quite simple to make, and the recipe makes a huge loaf of bread. This is something that would be good for breakfast, or dessert.

I didn't make any major changes to the recipe, though I did use dried cranberries instead of raisins since that's what I had at home. Also, I added a bit of finely diced fresh apple to boost up the fruit factor. And, I added some lime juice for a bit of extra flavor.

The bread was really tasty and Dave especially enjoyed it because he loves mangos. Please see Kelly's blog for the full recipe: http://bakingwiththeboys.wordpress.com/2009/05/19/twd-my-fresh-mango-bread-well-my-pick-anyway/

Also, please check-out the other Tuesday with Dorie bakers and their creations. http://tuesdayswithdorie.wordpress.com/
And... I couldn't do a post on a mango recipe without sharing a photo of our cat Mango. This is Mango and her favorite toy mouse.

    Oh, I'm dying to make some breads and sweets with my new mixer. I'm going to try this as I love moist fruit breads. Thanks! And your cat is adorable. Reminds me of my old cat, Rocki.

    Love the picture of 'mango' and her mouse.

    Thank you for sharing the recipe, I look forward to making this when I see the next lot of mangoes. It would be a great change from the usual banana bread loaf for a breakfast treat.

    Mango is cute. Your bread looks really tasty - cranberries sounds like a good substitution.

    Mmm, I bet the addition of apple made this bread even more deliciously moist. And I love the sub of dried cranberries for raisins. Your bread turned out beautifully! Great job.

    Great looking loaf. I thought about cranberries and then forgot. I added extra diced fresh ginger for a boost. It was good.
