This week's Tuesdays with Dorie is Fresh Mango Bread chosen by Kelly of Baking with the Boys. When we were in Grand Cayman in March we ate dinner at the Ritz Carlton one night (which by the way if you go to Grand Cayman 7 at the Ritz has to die for Mango Bread and Steaks, but is pricey!). Anyways, they served Mango Bread instead of the typical basket of rolls. We were a little unsure about it at first, but OMG! It was soooo good. So when I told Tim I was making Mango Bread, he got all excited. This bread was fabulous. I ended up making one regular loaf and a mini loaf because I had so much batter. I gave the mini loaf to our next door neighbors, and TJ got mad at me because he loves it so much.
As for the recipe, I don't know if I used super strength limes or what, but the lime flavor was really strong. So was the ginger. So next time, I will cut these flavors down somewhat. Also, the recipe calls for 1 mango. It took 3 mangoes for me to get 2 cups, so I don't know if I used puny small mangoes, or if Dorie's were just ginormous.

I did the same thing - regular loaf plus a mini-loaf! (Except I was not as nice, I kept the mini to myself!) The lime flavor didn't pop out at all in mine.
Looks yummy! I cut back on the ginger, but doubled the lime and it was just right.
Glad it was such a hit. We liked it, too. I thought that the lime would be more pronouned, but I found it mild. Nice job!
YUM! Looks delicious.
Your bread looks delicious! Glad it was enjoyed.
I made 1/2 recipe and ended up with 3 minis and a bundt cake of yum!! Added diced ginger, cut the raisins and lime and loved the spicy loaf. Yours look just right.
Gorgeous! Love the mini loaf (I'dve kept it for myself!).
Looks great!
I think Dorie must have had humongous monster mangoes. Mine were big and only gave 1 1/3 cups diced mango apiece.
i had never heard of mango bread before but apparently you have!! your bread looks nice and moist
