I'm new to seeking #PEP badges. I'll be starting where I start, with a backlog of photos and recipes for things I've made from my kitchen. Some completely invented / inspired, and others as mods of others' recipes.

The Poly Dough is very versatile, and just as PW described, easy to grab a hank of it and use it for stuff including a quick pizza crust, as I experienced.

Shown herein in an improvised coffee cake.

I had mixed overripe banana, pressure cooked sweet potato and whole fresh cranberries with mixed nut flour, oil, stevia, raw sugar, and chai-type spices-- and don't know what I was thinking that it would shape up into a bread loaf so instead, it served as layers for a coffee cake.

Because I don't have a proper rolling surface, I instead alternated spooned layers of the poly dough and this filling, into a glass baking pan, plus a layer of cinnamon and walnut pieces and grated piloncillo sugar.

Let rise 60-90 minutes, and brush with 1 tbl whole milk before baked it at 350 for 30 minutes, following PW's notes.

NOTES:
  • The goop of overripe banana, sweet potato, and cranberry is a winner because it's like none of those things separately.
  • Half of the polydough, I sweetened (with sugar on hand, powdered).
  • Truthfully, my polydough had fermented slightly and that was A-OK!


  • I shared this coffee 'cake', still warm, with castmates on a play.  Store bought whole fat vanilla yogurt, with added powdered sugar (what I had on hand) was my healthier 'frosting' and an on the side option. It was a welcomed treat.

    The coffee cake looks yummy, thank you for sharing.
