It was certainly light but the banana taste was, as often is the case when baking with additions, I find, not present in the final product. Furthermore, the yeast taste is a little too strong for me. I think that&#39;s because i left the dough + sponge mix for 2 hrs at quite a high temperature, followed by 6 hrs in the fridge, and the final shaped loaf in the fridge overnight. Do you think if i had followed proofing times, and let it over-ferment (did i?), i would have tasted more banana? Also i wonder if i can substitute more banana for the butter? (btw Almond + banana, that&#39;s a great combination!)<br /><br />Have you tried a sourdough version? How did you convert? I wonder if i can substitute a starter for the sponge, but taking care to feed it to match the quantity of flour &amp; water in the recipe.<br /><br />sorry for all the questions. Thanks in any case for posting this recipe. Now i feel like remaking this straight away!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662563451197485408.post-19357047770380571262009-12-02T17:05:32.272-05:002009-12-02T17:05:32.272-05:00Thank you, Meems!

You too. If you make the bread, please send me a picture.<br />Thank you, Stefanie! Isn&#39;t it interesting the way different foods behave in different situations? I would never have guessed that a banana would contribute anything to the featheriness of a dough.MChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06970341784453225019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662563451197485408.post-59057760506739315102009-11-27T14:01:13.073-05:002009-11-27T14:01:13.073-05:00The bread looks fantastic and bananas in bread sounds intresting.Stefaniehttp://www.hefe-und-mehr.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662563451197485408.post-7917796791364398452009-11-27T07:26:14.056-05:002009-11-27T07:26:14.056-05:00MC,<br />I love the shape and look of the bread...I will have to try this one...Like you said we always have sourdough to use up...<br />Hope you had a great feast....<br />JuddAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662563451197485408.post-71305814947009132372009-11-26T18:49:34.753-05:002009-11-26T18:49:34.753-05:00Fantastic!Lazy bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14562017291228128088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662563451197485408.post-47062545879067804442009-11-25T10:04:22.897-05:002009-11-25T10:04:22.897-05:00I don&#39;t think you&#39;ll regret it.
