Perfect Banana Bread Recipe A slice of banana bread along with a fried egg and some juice makes for a delicious breakfast. And it’s so easy to throw a batch together using a few over-ripe bananas. This bread makes pretty tasty french toast or bread puddingthe possibilities are endless. You can play around with the ingredients. Add nuts (usually pecans or walnuts) or a handful of shredded coconut in the batter. If you're feeling tropical I’ll throw some pineapple chunks in wi...th the coconut. For banana bread with a bit of a praline flavor, substitute 1/2 of the white sugar for dark brown sugar and definitely add pecans. Blueberries are good too. Streusel topping or granola can make it interesting. So can some rum, but that’s true of a lot of things.

Focaccia-Style Sheet Pan Pizza recipe While this recipe does qualify as pizza, it is not your typical neighborhood delivery type pie. It’s actually got a crust more like focaccia. The dough for this crust is pretty wet, so the trick to making this sheet pan pizza is to not use fresh mozzarella and to top it with ingredients that do not have a lot of moisture to keep the top from getting too soggy. You can try regular pizza saucebut use it sparingly. Lightly brushing it on wi...th a pastry brush would be ideal. Also, if you want a little more bang for your buck, you can chop up some fresh rosemary to add to the crust dough to give it some tasty fresh flavor.
