Hippie Banana Bread Food

THE BEST BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
• Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

HIPPIE BREAD

Steps:

• In large mixing bowl, dump all ingredients together and stir until blended well.
• Cover with a towel and lid (for weight) and let stand overnight.
• DO NOT STIR OR KNEAD.
• In the morning, prep 3 loaf pans by greasing well with shortening or butter. Pour batter direct from bowl into the loaf pans, dividing the dough evenly.
• Bake immediately in pre-heated 350º oven for 30 minutes. Bread is done when golden brown and when tapped lightly gives a hollowed sound.
• Remove from pans immediately and let cool on wire rack.
• *If mixture looks too dry you can add extra water as needed.
• **Options - Sprinkle sesame seeds or dried onion flakes to the top of the bread if desired.
• Freeze baked bread (wrap well and place in freezer safe bag) when completely cooled for later use. Shelf/counter life of baked bread is 3-4 days maximum.
