A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tsp. Vanilla extract
4 - 5 large bananas, overly ripened, mashed
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. In large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar. Stir in the eggs and mashed bananas just until well blended. Whisk the banana mixture into flour mixture; just until it's well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour, but start checking it at 50-55 minutes OR until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in pan for about 10 minutes before removing from pan onto a wire rack. Cool completely, slice and serve.
