BANANA YEAST BREAD

    Banana Yeast Bread

    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.
