ABOUT Som Tam Bread RECIPE

This inspiration of flavours originated from my fondness for Som Tam, a Thai salad. It is a popular dish / salad in Thailand. I really love the blend of flavours... Sweet, Spicy, Tangy..it has all in One Single Dish. So I just tried creating a Bread with these flavours. Its not an Yeasted Bread. It has a texture of Banana Bread but with Papaya and other infusions. I have tried to include most of the ingredients of the salad in this bread and the outcome is amazing.
