Banana Raisin Bread
Toasted slices of this moist banana bread are wonderful for breakfast.
For a special treat, you can substitute chocolate chips for half or all
of the raisins.
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp warm water
3 Tbsp honey
4 1/2 tsp vegetable oil
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 medium very ripe banana, mashed
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 cups bread flour
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
In bread machine pan, place the first nine ingredients in order
suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust
color and loaf size if available. Bake according to bread machine
directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2
tablespoons of water or flour if needed). Just before the final kneading
(your machine may audibly signal this), add raisins and walnuts.
Yield: 1 - 2 lb loaf
NOTE: The more ripe the banana the more banana flavor you will get. I
use bananas when the skins are totally black.
