This bread is so soft and tasty! I made it in the bread machine from start to finish on the basic white bread cycle. Although I pulled it out about 15 mins early because the top crust was beginning to get too dark. Next time, I think I'll use the sandwich setting for a lighter crust so it doesn't burn. The banana is subtle, but I don't mind because banana isn't my favorite it's Hubby's. My loaf wasn't dense at all but light as air. I almost felt like I was eating that worthless cheap white bread from the store. I used extra poppy seed and extra vanilla, so it was more like a dessert bread. Looking forward to making this again.

I'm not going to rate this as it didn't work for me & it may be because I did it on rapid cycle. When the cycle had finished the bread was still doughy in the middle. I tried to save it by continuing baking in the oven but it didn't work. I got to taste the edge bits that were cooked & it did taste good but it just didn't cook fully for me, I may try this again on a full cycle & reserve my rating until then. Thanks for posting!

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
