Banana-Pecan Whole Wheat Loaf

This Banana Pecan Wheat Bread made good french toast because the bread is not cake like, which makes it easy to slice in a uniform manner.

This is a bread machine recipe from Fleischmann’s Yeast, although the link to this particular recipe seems to be gone .

While I was not crazy about the loaf in itself (not sweet enough for a banana bread in my own opinion), it did make some very good french toast.

Banana-Pecan Whole Wheat Loaf (1 1/2-Pound Recipe)

1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas
2 large eggs
1/3 cup water (70º to 80ºF)
3 tablespoons butter or margarine — cut up
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups bread flour
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons Fleischmann’s Bread Machine Yeast
1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans or raisins

Measure all ingredients, except pecans, into bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer, adding bananas with water.

Process on basic/white bread or fruit and nut cycle, adding pecans according to manufacturer’s directions; use light or medium/normal crust color setting, as desired. Do not use delayed-bake feature. Remove bread from pan; cool on wire rack.

Lemon Tea Bread and Lemon Balm Butter

Lemon Tea Bread and Lemon Balm Butter was a great way to implement some of my lemon balm and lemon thyme.

This recipe is from Cooks.com. Link to recipe.

I did lighten things a bit by using light butter and 1/2 sugar-1/2 Splenda in mine. It came out really good.

Instead of glazing it with the glaze recomended I heated brown sugar and lemon juice to put on the serving plate and mixed together some light butter with lemon thyme and lemon balm mixed in.

Lemon Tea Bread

3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon chopped lemon balm
1 tablespoon chopped lemon thyme
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter — room temp.
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

Heat milk with chopped herbs, steep until cool. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in bowl. Cream butter and sugar in another bowl, add eggs, one at a time, add lemon peel. Add flour mixture and herbed milk alternately; blend. Pour in loaf pan and bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes. Glaze bread while hot with paste of: juice of 1 lemon and confectioners’ sugar.
