Anyone who has visited us in our café will have noticed that our cakes, breads, and other food items are at least as delicious as our specialty coffees. Why is that? We make our products ourselves in our cafés or have them produced locally by the Bernauer bakery, also using traditional artisanal methods.
And finally, we have created a delicious banana bread recipe. Learn more about us and treat yourself at home with our coffee and this simple recipe!
Baking as a traditional craft - discover our delicious baked goods
Of course, it is much easier for bakers to bake industrially, on an assembly line. But that is simply not our approach. We and the Bernauer bakery bake using old and newly developed recipes. We measure the ingredients by hand, knead, that is, shape our bread ourselves, and decorate our cakes with lots of love. In the end, unique creations are born that are meant to brighten and sweeten your day. Really great taste simply comes from really great craftsmanship, just like with our coffee.
Bernauer Bakery - Family Bakery from Wilhelmsfeld
This bakery not only embodies a great deal of tradition, but is also recognized as a guild bakery. It therefore represents many values that we at SIMON & BEARNS really like:
Guild bakeries impress with their personality, variety, masterful craftsmanship, and passion. They also pay great attention to regionality and the production of their products. That is why the owner still personally carries the sack of flour through the bakery. These special bakeries use their wealth of ideas to create new seasonal products again and again. In doing so, they support the region and neighboring businesses, such as fruit growers. Master certification is mandatory for operating a guild bakery, and we believe you can taste the difference! The Bernauer bakery is, by the way, certified by the German Bread Institute, which also proves its high quality standards.
These standards of quality and craftsmanship are just as important to us as coffee roasters. Of course, we cannot source coffee regionally, but we support local coffee farmers. Through our selection, we support producers and supply chains where origin and quality are clearly documented. Due to our high standards of quality, we are also responsible for ensuring that coffee cultivation and trade are carried out under as transparent conditions as possible along the supply chain. By holding ourselves to these standards, we ensure conscious coffee consumption among our customers. We try to inform you about the origin and our partners so that our transparent practices are also rewarded! You show us every day what you like and how we can continue to improve. Thank you for working with us; you give us a purpose in our work every day!
Baking at SIMON&BEARNS - Artisanal Baking Made in-House
We actually make some of our pastries ourselves in our cafés. We think this is a wonderful way to show our customers how much we value them! With us, love is homemade! For example, we make our banana bread, almond sticks, and cheesecake fresh every day. This guarantees freshness and an incomparable taste! For us, there is no better coffee and cake than in our cafés. We know where all our products come from, we know our coffee farmers, we trust our suppliers, and we pass all of this on to you, our customers. In this way, we ensure quality in all areas! It is also very cozy with us.
Banana Bread Recipe for Home
Of course, we don't just want to write about how delicious our baked goods are. That is why we have prepared a delicious banana bread recipe for you to bake at home. It may not be our secret recipe, but it is definitely delicious!
You will need the following for our recipe:
200g flour (type 405 or similar)
80ml sunflower oil (or a similarly neutral oil)
2 medium eggs
3 ripe bananas
110g brown sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 vanilla pod or vanilla extract
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of salt
And here is how you do it:
- Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl.
- Whisk the eggs with the brown sugar, stir in the oil, and then mix in the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla one by one. If you are using a vanilla pod, slit it lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a knife.
- Carefully fold in the mashed bananas with a fork.
- Pour the batter into a suitable bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius with top and bottom heat, or to 160 degrees Celsius with fan heating.
- Bake the banana bread for approx. 50-55 minutes.
- Let it cool!
As you can see, there is a lot behind our cafés and our coffee roastery. What are your favorite snacks with us? What would you like to see? We look forward to hearing your ideas and are eager to try new things.
