Mrs. Zink's Moist Banana Bread

This recipe has stains all over it due to how much I use it. This is in a book that my mom in law gave to me. It's the only banana bread recipe I have used and liked.

• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 4 overripe bananas
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• dash of cinnamon and nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (I rarely have walnuts, so I use chocolate chips instead).

Cream sugar, eggs and shortening in large bowl. Add bananas to mixture. Beat until creamy. In separate bowl, combine baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, flour and nuts. Add dry ingredients to creamy mixture. Mix just until not lumpy. Put in greased bread pan. Bake for 60 minutes in 350 degree oven.

One Hour Bread

My friend Geri has been teaching this class for ages. But I don't quite know whose recipe this originated with!

• 10 1/2 cups white flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 Tablespoon salt
• 2 Tablespoon SAF instant yeast
• 3 Tablespoon lecithin
• 4 cups hot water

Combine first four ingredients. Make a well. Pour in lecithin into well. Add hot water. Mix 2 minutes. Adjust with water/flour as necessary. Mix 5 minutes.

Shape loaves and cover 25 minutes. Preheat oven 350. Bake 25 minutes. Can use the dough for cinnamon rolls or rolls.
