And I am sure that buying bananas has happened to all of us at some point and everyone at home decides that they don't want to eat them that week... And the poor things stay in the fruit bowl looking very unappetizing. Well, this banana bread is without a doubt the solution!

The origin of this cake is in Saint-Tropez where, in the 1950s, the Polish pastry chef Alexandre Miccka made and sold a delicate cream-filled brioche. The invention was so delicious even Brigitte Bardot herself fell for it. In fact, it was the actress who suggested the name "Tarte Tropézienne" which today is a recipe and a registered trademark and is still as popular as it used to be.

We bring you a recipe for layered bread, but in order to make it to your liking, this time we will give you homework: you will have to think about which flavors are your favorites in order to round off the finish. Do you dare to try?

You can cook some super fluffy steamed biscuits. You can do it both in a pressure cooker and in other utensils designed for steam cooking. In this case, we are going to show you how to do it in the WMF Vitalis Pot.

The olive oil brioche that I bring you today has nothing to envy to the classic sweet of French origin enriched with butter. In this brioche you will find all the benefits of the previous one but with the extra virgin olive oil.

If in my last recipe we traveled to the United Kingdom today we continue there. I couldn't resist presenting you the Scones recipe. Yes, surely you know them, they are those round rolls originally from Scotland, rolls with which the famous tea time is usually accompanied.

You know that I really like sharing recipes from different parts of the world with you, it's something that drives me crazy. I think there is nothing better than getting to know a place through its gastronomy and traditions. When we travel, I would dare to say that I almost feel like going to markets, restaurants, shops, pastry shops... than visiting the place itself! LOL. It's something I really enjoy. Today we are not going very far, I want to share with you how to make and enjoy an incredible Mallorcan potato coca.

Do you know that homemade cookies can last even a month in perfect condition if you keep them well? That as long as you don't get distracted and the little ones (or some older child in the house... Ehem!) don't play the little mouse and eat them first.

Baking cookies is one of my favorite pleasures. It is easy and it is also fast, since both the dough requires very little mixing and the baking takes little time (about 15 minutes). The kids also enjoy it, you make sure you eat quality ingredients and, if you make them in quantity, you have reservations for days.

Brioche is a light, soft bread enriched with butter. It is a French classic. This recipe has a delicious chocolate praline filling with a decoration of chocolate and chopped hazelnuts. A delicious sweet to serve with a good coffee at any time.

If there is an easy bread to prepare, it is, without a doubt, the Irish soda bread. Few ingredients, easy to find, that only need to be mixed, slightly kneaded, and baked. In half an hour of cooking we have a delicious bread ready to eat. No waiting, raising, complicated kneading techniques or the like.

The monkey bread recipe (or monkey bread, as we know it here) is pure vice. A caramelized and cinnamon-flavored sponge cake built with patience and love ball by ball. Without a doubt, it is worth it, especially following the wise instructions of Virginia, author of Sweet&Sour, who here leaves you the recipe.

We know from several people who have already tried it, that the oven offers everything it promises: You are making irresistible loaves! And for those of you who are waiting for ideas to get the most out of it, I leave you with a couple of recipes that, without complications, will make you enjoy a good homemade bread. Hands to the dough!
