Instructions

Have liquid ingredients at 80ºF, and all others at room temperature. Place ingredients in pan in the order recommended by manufacturer. Select basic cycle and medium/normal crust. Check dough consistency after 5 minutes of kneading. The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball. If it is dry and stiff, add water, 1/2 to 1 tablespoon at a time. If it is too wet and sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time. When cycle is complete, remove from pan; cool on rack.

Bananas vary in liquid content. It is very important to check the dough consistency adding more water or more flour if needed.

Note: This is not a cake-like sweet banana bread.

are White flour and bread flour interchangeable?

Hi Darlene – Bread flour is recommended for this recipe. It has a higher protein level than all-purpose flour that is ideal for yeast-raised dough, giving better gas-retention and better rise. In a pinch, you can substitute all-purpose flour. Just keep in mind that absorption (amount of liquid needed), mixing, kneading and rise times may vary.
Happy baking!
