Dandelion Bread

Dandelions don’t really bother me.  My neighbor, on the other hand, works diligently to rid her yard of dandelions by mowing almost every day.  It doesn’t help.

, Saving 4 Six

Last year, I pinned a recipe for dandelion bread and so when my yard took on that yellow glow, I decided to give it a try.  I knew you could eat dandelion greens but this bread uses the blossoms. I did a little internet search and not only are the dandelion blossoms edible, they are good for you too!

, Saving 4 Six

Here’s what you need for this bread:

2 2/3 cups milk
2 eggs
3/4 cup honey ( I didn’t have honey so I used this substitute)
1/2 cup cooking oil
2 cups dandelion petals
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 cups flour

Harvest dandelion petals.  Cut off the stem and the green parts (it’s ok if a little gets into the batter) and save only the petals.  Thoroughly wash your dandelion petals.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Grease 2 bread pans and set aside.
Combine dry ingredients, including dandelion petals.
In separate bowl mix all other ingredients well. Then add to dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Pour in bread pans and bake for 25 minutes or until knife inserted in center of bread comes out clean.

, Saving 4 Six

This bread was really good.  It had the consistency of a banana bread but tasted like corn bread with honey.

, Saving 4 Six

I’ll definitely be making it again before the dandelions are gone and will be sharing it with my neighbor.

    I have about a million dandelions in my yard, guess I better get picking before my son mows!! My Italian step-dad eats the greens, but I’ve never tried the blossoms!

    This is great. I love them too. I don’t get why people work so hard to rid their yard of them.

    Great idea.

    This is amazing! We use to gather the dandelion flowers – fry them up with egg & flour coating and they taste much like mushrooms. But adding the flower part to bread is a new one on me. I love this! Thanks so much for sharing at Weekend Potluck. Please come again soon.

    I had no idea you could eat Dandelion flowers! With 5 acres, I bet I can find plenty to make this bread with!

    I’m kinda amazed by this! It looks delicious, and I love cornbread, so I am very tempted to give this a try! My kids will think I’m nuts 🙂

    Made this yesterday and it is DELICIOUS! Can taste the salt a little too much for my liking when it’s in its bread form but toast it and the flavours really come out. Delicate, sweet taste AMAZING toasted with a little butter or peanut butter for a sweeter treat ^_^ Great idea, thank you!

    I’ve had this recipe for 2 years and finally made it yesterday. Sorry to say I am very disappointed. I’m guessing it is the amount of honey (I may try again with 1/4C), but this was liquid inside at 30 minutes. After another 30 minutes, the bread was done but of course the outside is not very pretty.

      My sister-in-law made this the other day and gave me some to try. It was delicious and had a consistency of a banana bread. You must have done something wrong. Try it again. You won’t be disappointed.
