Banana Feather Bread

Sunday, March 19, 2006

I had my doubts about this banana bread that isn't really a banana bread. It's a yeast bread with only one banana in it, so there's just a hint of banana. As Sarah said, "This bread is amazing! It's so light and the crust is so crisp....it makes me happy to eat it!" And the lemon curd that Rose suggests as an accompaniment is an inspired idea.
This is one reason that I'm happy that I decided to make every bread in the book. If I hadn't made myself that promise, I'm sure I would have passed this recipe by because why would I want a white bread with a little banana in it? But the reason I'd want it is that it's very, very good.
I got the Baker's Catalogue today, and I made a quick once-through, circling about $500 worth of baking items that I must have. I will narrow that down soon.
