I have bookmarked this watermelon bread loaf long time ago. Finally i managed to make it happened !
Love how it turned out, the red part of bread look quite similar like real watermelon flesh ^_^
The process of making this watermelon bread loaf not as difficult as i thought, lets see the steps..
Next time i have to increase the amount of raisin. This was the amount i put in, but it turned out so little and only able to spot 1 or 2 raisin when i cut each slice.
