Summary

Name: Banana Yeast Bread

Category: Breads

3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1/2 cup granulated sugar

5 1/4 to 6 cups all−purpose flour

1 package active dry yeast

1 teaspoon salt

3 eggs

3 medium ripe bananas, mashed

1 teaspoon water

In a saucepan, cook and stir milk, butter and sugar over medium heat until butter is melted; cool to

120 to 130 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, yeast, salt, 2 eggs, bananas and milk mixture; beat on low

speed until combined. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to

form a firm dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes.

Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled,

about 45 minutes.

Divide dough in half; shape each into a round loaf. Place on a greased baking sheet; cut slits in tops.

Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Beat remaining egg with water; brush over the loaves. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes or

until golden brown.

Yields 2 loaves.
