Banana Bread

This recipe is adapted from "Deceptively Delicious". You may add 1 T of ground flax seed, or instead of whole-wheat flour I like to use a 7 or 11 grain cereal mix from Bob's Red Mill.

3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup applesauce, or oil
2 eggs
2 cups banana puree
l tsp vanilla
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

1. preheat oven to 350, coat two mini pans, or one 9x5 loaf pan
2. mix flour through cinnamon together in a bowl
3. in another bowl mix sugar wiht applesauce, and then add eggs, banana, and vanilla. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined.
4. Pour into loaf pans and bake until toothpick comes out clean, 55-60 minutes, or 25-30 minutes for mini loaves.

basic wheat bread (for the kitchen-aid)

1/2 c milk
3 T milk
2 t salt
2 t butter
2 packages active dry yeast
1 1/2 c warm water
5-6 c flour

Place milk, sugar, salt, and butter in a small saucepan. Heat over low until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add lukewarm milk mixture and 4 1/2 c flour. Mix for one minute on speed 2.

Add remaining flour, 1/2 c at a time until dough sticks to dough hook and cleans the side of the bowl (about 2 minutes at speed 2).

Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and let frise for about 1 hour, or until dough has doubled.

Punch bowl down and either divide in half and shape into two loves or roll out into rolls.

Make for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
