- #10329

ingredients
2/3 cup warm water
2 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup almonds, sliced
1 large lemon, zested
3 1/2 cups bread flour
3 teaspoons yeast, instant active dry
directions
Place all ingredients in bread pan of your bread machine. Select dough setting and press start. When dough cycle has finished, remove dough from pan and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Form dough into an oval, cover with a cotton towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
After resting, turn dough bottom side up and press to flatten. Shape dough into a loaf and place in a loaf pan that's been coated with cooking spray. Cover and place in a warm spot to rise for approximately 30 minutes or until doubled.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. A good check is to use an instant thermometer to test your bread. The temperature should be between 200 and 210 degrees F. Remove from oven and cool on a bread rack for about 10 minutes. Remove from pan.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

This was a great recipe. Easy and true. I did not use zest (didn't have any) but it came out perfect.
