Cucumber Bread

Posted 2013-01-29 by Tammy Facey ⇒ follow

This recipe came about because I was feeling frugal, I'd just juiced two cucumbers to make a cooling juice, but had quite a lot of pulp left and I didn't want to waste it. So I made cucumber bread! It is refreshing, moist and a little sweet, so a perfect snack on a spring/summers day, Plus, full of the nutritional benefits of cucumber skin!

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 10 servings

Ingredients
The pulp of 2 cucumbers
150g spelt flour
100g caster sugar
100g butter
2 eggs
Pinch of salt

Method

Cream the butter and sugar together, add the eggs one by one and combine.

In a seperate bowl sift the flour and salt together.

Transfer the flour mixture to the other bowl and add the cucumber pulp. Stir, so everything is combined. It should be relatively 'wet' and sloppy.

Pour into a pre-greased (with butter) loaf tin and pop in the oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees (gas mark 4)

After 30 minutes the 'bread' should have risen a little and have turned out perfectly.

This is a fool proof recipe and can be done by most. Get your children involved and you'll have them munching veggies without even realising it.
