How to Make Banana Wheat Bread Bread Machine

  1. Combine all ingredients in your bread machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. Select the dough cycle; this usually takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  3. Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough and shape into a loaf. Place the shaped dough into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  4. Let the dough rise in a warm place for approximately 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
