I have always been a great admirer of Madhuram’s Baking. For the longest time I have been wanting to try out one of her breads. Finally today I decided to make the almond bread as it looked delicious and straight forward.
I did not have almond butter so perhaps the bread did not get the brown color like hers, yet it was delicious. I flavored plain, unsalted butter with roasted and ground almonds. I also added some raisins to the bread batter. Thanks Madhu for making me realize how easy it is to bake a delicious bread. I am going to make it repeatedly, with a different flavor each time!
I think instead of a picture of the bread I should have posted a picture of my baby eating it. She was dragging me to the kitchen after every slice.
I made half the quantity described by Madhu’s recipe. Baked the bread for 200 ° C for 30 mins.
Based on a request by Radha I have updated the measurements of ingredients used :
Maida / flour – 1 cups
Baking powder – 2 teaspoons
Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
Sugar – 2 teaspoons
Roasted and Ground almond powder – 1 tablespoon
Milk – 3/4 cup
Butter – 1/4 cup
Wow Roma, the bread looks moist than mine. Nice idea of using regular butter, almond meal and raisins. Now I really want to try your version. I told you, baking is easy. All it requires is interest and little imagination and you can create wonders like this one. Thanks for trying the recipe.
lovely bread.

I was going to try this when I saw Madhu’s recipe and photos. And now I don’t need any more motivation – definitely going to try it. Thanks for the tip about the almond butter – I might have to follow your suggestion.
Sure Arundathi, do let us know how it turns out.
I Saw both the recipes and i would like to try it out. I need to know how much butter and almond powder were used. I would appreciate if you could update this in your recipe. Thanks
Radha
