Banana Corn Bread Loaf Recipe

  American Bread

Ingredients:
2-1/2 c sifted bread flour
3/4 c stone ground cornmeal
1-1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tb brown sugar, packed
2 tb butter, cut into 4 pieces
5 oz milk (1/2 cup + 2 tablespoon)
2-1/2 ts active dry yeast
3/4 c mashed ripe bananas

Directions:
Leavened with yeast - Requires a bread machine
The trick here is to use stone ground cornmeal, not the powdered/bleached variety. It gives the bread a great flavor, and a really nice coarse texture. The combination of ingredients give it a very different flavor than standard banana/nut or pan-baked corn bread.
1. Process the ingredients according to the manufacturer's instructions for a basic bread setting.
2. Add mashed banana to milk in machine.
3. Set machine on "light" crust setting.
Yield: makes 1-1/2 pound loaf
