Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats (3 minute)
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
1 1/2 tablespoons butter or 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients together and knead for thirty to forty seconds.
  • Let rise (about forty minutes) and knock down and knead for thirty seconds.
  • Repeat.
  • (Or let the bread machine do all the kneading and timing for you and go beach combing until it's time to cook the dough!) Allow final rise in a bread pan, about forty minutes, and preheat oven to 425 f.
  • Place in oven and decrease temperature to 350 f.
  • Bake for thirty minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe bananas that are yellow with brown spots.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A loaf pan is the traditional shape for Bahama bread. However, you can also bake it in a round or square pan.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: Allow the bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Bahama bread is a moist, delicious bread with a slightly sweet flavor. It is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this bread is a great choice for both experienced and novice bakers. So, grab your apron, preheat your oven, and give this Bahama bread recipe a try today!
