Guest guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I made this up with a mixture of ingredients from 3 of my favorite sweet bread recipes. Chayote Bread Makes 2 8X5 loaf pans 3 large eggs 1 3/4 cups sugar (I use raw sugar) 1 cup vegetable oil 2 cups peeled, grated chayote squash (press water out of grated chayote in a colander) 3 tsps. vanilla (I use the real thing) 3 cups flour 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking soda 1 /4 tsp. baking powder 2 tsps. cinnamon heaping 1/2 tsp. cardamom (don't level it off) 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) I use them but I know some people don't care for nuts in their bread Add raisins if you like, they are also good in this recipe. Preheat oven to 350 and grease & flour loaf pans. Beat eggs until light and foamy. Add sugar,oil, chayote and vanilla. Mix lightly, don't over beat. In a second bowl mix dry ingredients, add to the chayote mixture and again don't over beat. Stir in the nuts. Pour into prepared pans. Bake 43-50 minutes. Test with a toothpick after 43 minutes to make sure it's done. Remove from pans and cool on wire rack.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'd never heard of that squash & decided that it must be too exotic for my Arkansas Walmart to have it. I saw it today at my Walmart! I can't find hoisen sauce, capers or barley flour though. I looked through all the flours today & the only exception to white flour was wheat flour, bread machine flour & organic wheat flour. I'm going to the big town this weekend! I've already told dh that we are going SOMEWHERE! I'll be looking for Tofutti stuff too.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Rhoda, I forgot where you are in Arkansas. I'm in Springdale. If you're in northwest Arkansas, check Ozark Natural Foods (Fayetteville) or Mary's Health Foods (Springdale) and I think there's some health food place on 8th Street in Rogers. My friend's vegetarian husband shops at Ozark Natural Foods pretty often. And I think I saw on their website that they carry Tofutti. Their website is www.ozarknaturalfoods.com <http://www.ozarknaturalfoods.com/> . Good luck! _____ Re: Chayote Bread recipe I'd never heard of that squash & decided that it must be too exotic for my Arkansas Walmart to have it. I saw it today at my Walmart!
