Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place warm water, sugar and yeast in a small bowl for 10 minutes.
  • Puree your banana and set aside.
  • Once you know your yeast is active add pureed banana, salt and start to add the flour one cup at a time, using a whisk to combine ingredients at first.
  • Continue to add the flour using a spatula to fold the ingredients until the dough looks like it could be picked up and kneaded. Do not knead. Let rest in bowl covered with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Let rise for about 30 minutes.
  • Punch the dough and roll it out onto a floured surface. Knead it, using as much flour as needed.
  • Once you are able to handle the dough, roll it out into a square that it is the width of your loaf pan.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar on the dough, then roll it up and place it back in your pan to rise again, covered.
  • If there is excess flour on top, use a brush to brush it off.
  • Let rise for about 30 minutes, then bake at 375 F for about 50 minutes.
  • In the last 20 minutes, brush the top surface with butter, every 10 minutes (twice).
  • Remove once the bread is cooked. You can use a souvlaki stick poked in the centre and if it comes out dry, then it's done.
