Honey Orange Mango Bread

This mango bread gets its moisture from both the honey and the coconut oil, along with the moist mangoes themselves. The coconut oil lends a allusive tropical flavor to the bread. Try not to overbake the bread as it will end up dry and flavorless. Feel free to play with the spices too. I picked ginger, cardamom and white pepper, but cinnamon, nutmeg or black pepper would work lovely with this bread too.

Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

Flavor stand-ins for the white pepper

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (flour, wheat, ginger, cardamom, orange, mango, egg):

  1. Cinnamonbetter flavor fit
  2. Turmericbetter flavor fit
  3. Corianderbetter flavor fit
  4. White pepperthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against flour, wheat, ginger, cardamom, orange, mango, egg. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
