Banana Bread with Cinnamon Crumble Topping


I am not sure why I keep buying bananas because they keep sitting on my counter turning brown and then I have to find a new recipe to use with the bananas instead of throwing them away. The good thing is that most recipes call for ripe bananas and I have had really good luck with the recipes I have found.
This one I found in Bon Appetit it is from a restaurant in Oakland, California by the name of Bakesale Betty and it is one of the best sellers. This bread got rave reviews from everyone and is definitely a keeper. I threw in a handful of walnuts just because, but you don't have to.
This is a cross between banana bread and coffee cake.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 to 3 medium)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 9x5x3-inch metal baking pan. Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl. Whisk next 5 ingredients in large bowl until smooth. Add dry ingredients; stir to blend. Transfer batter to pan. Mix 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and brown sugar; sprinkle over batter.
  • Bake bread until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool bread in pan 30 minutes. Turn pan on its side; slide out bread, being careful not to dislodge topping. Turn bread right side up and cool completely.

HOLLA it's Challah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I have never made this fantastic bread before and I am such a fan of the "no knead bread" recipes, that when I found this one, I had to try it. Ethan was supposed to attend a party at a friends house and this is where this Challah was supposed to go, but of course the child who never gets sick is under the weather so I am now stuck with this huge Challah loaf while on a low carb diet. Lovely! This beauty will be great for the rest of the men in my family though, it will be enjoyed sliced and toasted then spread with butter, jam, nutella etc, the rest will be sliced and used for the best french toast, because it is a fact that only THE best French toast is made with Challah. I added some cinnamon sugar to the top of this with slivered almonds, to be a little fancy shmancy but you don't have to. Hello you Beautiful Braided Beefcake!! 1 3/4 cups lukewarm water 1 1/2 tbl instant yeast 1 1/2 tbl kosher salt (1 1/2 tsp table salt) 4 lg eggs, slightly beaten 1/2 cup honey 1/...
