This month’s #BreadBakers challenge was to use no refined sugar hosted by Mayuri. I decided to use honey. This is a simple tea bread that is perfect with your morning cup of java.
The original intention was to use banana, but then a late night mishap had me searching the house for what other fruit I could use instead. I had a container of jackfruit I had purchased in Chinatown…perfect! Cleaning jackfruit is a laborious task, but if you live near a Chinatown you can usually purchase containers already cleaned and sometimes deseeded for you. Ah…convenience. If you’ve never tasted jackfruit before, it has a taste similar to mango.

#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on this home page.
We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.
Hello Mereille, What a genius idea to have used Jackfruit in your bread. I love jackfruit and must try it out. I absolutely agree that ripe jackfruit tastes like mango. Your bread looks so moist and flavourful. Thanks for sharing!
This bread must have tasted great with Jackfruit and I love this fruit.
This bread must have tasted great with Jackfruit and I enjoy eating this fruit.
I’ve heard so much about jackfruit (my daughter uses it in savory dishes) but I’ve never tasted it. Now I’ve got a good reason to go for it. Your bread looks fab!
I have never used jackfruit in my kitchen. Your honey sweetened bread looks great. It must have tasted equally amazing I am sure!
That is a beautiful bread Mir. Jackfruit in a bread sounds quite interesting.
I have never tasted jackfruit! How cool. Looks delish!
A good choice used jackfruit to make this delicious and healthy bread
I would love a slice of this bread! I’ve never eaten Jack fruit but have heard it’s delicious!
I have never tasted jackfruit before but I love mango so I am going to be on the lookout.
Must admit I’m not a great fan of jackfruit but your bake looks so yummy Mireille.
I’ve never tried jackfruit but I’ll be hunting for it now!
My husband loves jackfruit though I am not very fond of it. But I should try this recipe for him.
I saw a jackfruit at a roadside stand the last time I was in Hawaii and wondered what it was like inside. Next time I’ll have to try it out.
I see the recipe calls for bananas in the beginning. Is this still required if we are using jackfruit? If so, how much bananas? Thank you!
I only mentioned that had been a plan, but there is no banana in the recipe
