       Great British Bake Off Banana Bread

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Paul's recipe, I believe!  Outstanding, only a few ingredients.
       No salt, no flavorings and it works.
       Total baking time is between 45-60 minutes, depending on the
       amount of bananas you use.
       Ingredients:
       3 large or 4 smaller bananas
       1 stick butter, softened or melted
       3/4 C sugar plus a tablespoon, roughly
       2 eggs
       2 tsp baking powder
       2 cups flour (I've used bread flour with excellent results as
       well!)
       Smash the bananas until nearly liquid.  (I use a potato masher).
       Add the sugar to taste. (Riper bananas get away with less
       sugar, greener ones might need it all).
       Add the butter and the 2 eggs.  Mix lightly.
       Then add about 2 cups flour and the 2 teaspoons of baking
       powder.  Fold into batter.  I find you can eyeball it - if the
       dough is sticky but not dry, you're good! If it's liquid-y, add
       more flour.
       Bake at 375 for 45 minutes in a standard loaf pan.  You can use
       parchment, or butter the pan, as both work.
       At this point, remove from the oven and use an inserted knife to
       determine if the bread is nearly done or still batter-ish in the
       middle.  I use tin foil at this point.  Bake for additional 4-5
       minute increments generally, test again until knife comes out
       clean.
       It's outstanding warm and equally so cooled. Intensely banana,
       very irresistable.

       I read this in Paul's voice, of course.
