How to Make Strawberry Banana Macadamia Bread

  1. In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in mashed bananas, chopped strawberries, egg whites, and melted butter.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch rectangular baking pan.
  8. Punch down the dough and gently shape it into the prepared pan.
  9. Sprinkle the reserved 2 teaspoons of chopped macadamia nuts over the top of the bread.
  10. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the bread is golden brown.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
