Pretzels are made of four all-natural ingredients – wheat flour, salt, yeast and baking soda – and are preservative free. The two most common varieties of pretzels are soft pretzels that need to be eaten immediately and hard pretzels, like our gourmet pretzel nuggets, which have a longer shelf life.

• 140g butter, softened, plus extra for the tin

• 140g caster sugar

• 2 large eggs, beaten

• 140g self-raising flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 2 very ripe bananas, mashed

• 50g icing sugar

• handful dried banana chips, for decoration

Method

• STEP 1

  Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.

• STEP 2

  Butter a 2lb loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking parchment.

• STEP 3

  Cream 140g softened butter and 140g caster sugar until light and fluffy, then slowly add 2 beaten large eggs with a little of the 140g flour.

• STEP 4

  Fold in the remaining flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 2 mashed bananas.

• STEP 5

  Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for about 50 mins, or until cooked through. Check the loaf at 5-min intervals from around 30-40 mins in the oven by testing it with a skewer (it should be able to be inserted and removed cleanly), as the time may vary depending on the shape of your loaf tin.

• STEP 6

  Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove to a wire rack.

• STEP 7

  Mix 50g icing sugar with 2-3 tsp water to make a runny icing.

• STEP 8

  Drizzle the icing across the top of the cake and decorate with a handful of banana chips.

This cinnamon roll recipe doesn’t require a ton of ingredients, but it does require love, patience and dedication to the true recipe — meaning don’t deter from the original! These are called the best cinnamon rolls for a reason, and that requires following the recipe as instructed. Here’s what you’ll need to make the best cinnamon rolls:

• Milk: I recommend 2% or whole milk, but know that almond milk will also work (I’ve tried it!) See my tips below for ensuring your milk is at the right temperature.

• Granulated sugar: this is used to sweeten the cinnamon rolls and to help activate the yeast.

• Quick rise yeast: use quick rise or instant yeast in this recipe to help the cinnamon rolls rise faster. You can also use active dry yeast, but the cinnamon rolls may take slightly longer to rise. Scroll down to get tips for using yeast in this recipe!

• Butter: the one and only. I prefer to use salted butter but unsalted is great too. You’ll need it for the dough, filling and icing.

• Egg + egg yolk: this recipe calls for 1 egg and 1 egg yolk for the perfect texture and rich consistency in the dough.

• Bread flour: to help keep these cinnamon rolls soft and fluffy, we’re using bread flour, which has a higher protein level to help lighten the cinnamon roll texture. The higher amounts of protein help to produce more gluten, which gives cinnamon roll the chewy, soft texture you know and love.

• Brown sugar: personally, I love using dark brown sugar for more robust molasses sweet flavor in those cinnamon swirls, but light brown sugar will work!

• Cinnamon: YUM.

• Salt: cinnamon rolls made without salt tastes very plain and in addition, salt also helps to control yeast in cinnamon roll recipes so don’t skip it.

• For the icing: the icing is truly unforgettable too! Just cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla.

YES PLEASE. Cinnabon, you’ve got nothing on these rolls.

Savory puddings like breakfast stratamay be served as main courses, while sweet puddings are typically eaten as desserts.

And is different to bread

White bread typically refers to breads made from wheat flour from which the bran and the germ layers have been removed from the whole wheatberry as part of the flour grinding or milling process, producing a light-colored flour.
