Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups self-raising flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup water
- 1 banana, mashed (about 1/3 cup)
- Banana leaf, for baking
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C
- Place all ingredients except the banana into a mixing bowl and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix as you don’t want to activate the gluten. If the mixture is too runny add a little more flour until it comes together as a soft dough.
- Flatten the dough out into a thick disk then spread on the mashed banana, roll the dough up into a loaf to create a ripple of banana through the centre.
- Run the banana leaf over a gas hob or camp fire to soften, then place the dough in the centre and wrap into a loose burrito form.
- Bury under coals and bake for 45-60 minutes. Alternatively you can place this inside a pre-heated dutch oven and bake in your oven for 30-40 minutes. Or, place the dough in a loaf tin and bake uncovered.
- Once baked, remove the banana leaf and cool before slicing.
