Avocado Peppadew Bread

Avocado Peppadew Bread

2 cups all-purpose flour (I used cake flour)

¾ cup white sugar
1- ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 x-large egg
½ cup mashed avocado (1 medium avocado)
½ cup buttermilk (I used Greek thick yoghurt)
6 peppadews, sliced thinly (optional)
black pepper, to taste
½ tsp dried thyme

Preheat the oven to 190 oC. Generously grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to blend thoroughly.

In a separate bowl, beat together the egg and avocado. Stir in the buttermilk/yoghurt. Add to the dry ingredients and blend well. Stir in the peppadews and season.

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
