India inspired Mango Bread

India inspired Mango Bread

 

Faye and I both have the privilege to be able travel with our careers.  In April and May, both Faye and I were in Hong Kong, China and India separately.  With both of us being foodies, we love the opportunity to see how other cultures eat and cook. In my recent trip to India (wonderful, loving people!), I was treated to some delicious Indian mangos!  So with  mangos on my mind, I created this yummy mango bread.  I kept the mango as true to itself as possible (in other words, not making it into a pulp). I wanted to make sure everyone knew the type of bread they were eating. The flavor of fresh mango, baked into a bread with a little hint of spice.  I hope you enjoy this recipe!

2 teaspoons baking soda
