Coffee Bread for the quarantine mornings

Even while on quarantine, we can have a good baking time.

In the days of the previous quarantine, there was a shortage of yeast in supermarkets. More and more people, trying to fill their boredom hours creatively, started cooking and especially baking all kinds of breads and cakes. Banana Bread, a simple homemade American dessert, was one of the undisputed internet stars of the previous lockdown.

This trend is expected to be seen again in the second wave of the coronavirus - and we thought it would be better for our roasts to have a coffee aroma. For this, we present an original recipe for… coffee bread.

Its taste is not fascinating or intriguing, but it is great for breakfast, or for an accompaniment to the afternoon coffee. Also, as it is very easy and does not require strange materials or special techniques, it is ideal for beginners who want to start their course in baking bread with simple recipes that succeed easily.

Tips for delicious coffee bread

You can use whatever coffee we want. Instant coffee will give a more intense taste, while espresso will make it more aromatic.
Prepare the coffee using twice as much coffee as in a cup that we would drink.
You can replace half of our flour with wholemeal flour, for a healthier alternative.

You can tell if it is ready by doing the "toothpick test": the toothpick that we will dip in its center must be left clean.
It is not suitable for children because of the caffeine it contains.
The taste is not impressive, however it is great for breakfast, as the coffee adds energy and the taste will take off with a chocolate spread.
It is kept covered for 3-4 days, without any problems.
