BANANA BREAD

YIELD: ONE 9-INCH LOAF

INGREDIENTS:

• 1-3/4 cups (8-3/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 6 large very ripe bananas, peeled
• 8 tablespoons (4 ounces/1 stick) unsalted butter , melted and cooled slightly
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 3/4 cup (6 ounces) packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup walnuts , toasted and coarsely chopped (optional)
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

DIRECTIONS:

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350℉. Spray 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in large bowl, set aside.

2. Place 5 bananas in microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and cut several steam vents in plastic with paring knife. Microwave on high power until bananas are soft and have released liquid, about 5 minutes. Transfer bananas to fine-mesh strainer placed over medium-size bowl and allow to drain for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, (you should have 1/2 to 3/4 cup liquid).

3. Transfer liquid to a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 4-5 minutes. Remove pan from heat, stir reduced liquid and bananas into a bowl, and mash until fairly smooth. Whisk in butter, eggs, brown sugar, sour cream and vanilla.

4. Pour banana mixture into flour mixture and stir until just combined with some streaks of flour remaining. Gently fold in walnuts, if using. Scrape batter into prepared pan. Slice remaining banana diagonally into ¼-inch-thick slices. Shingle banana slices on top of either side of loaf, leaving 1-1/2-inch-wide space down center to ensure even rise. Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over loaf.

5. Bake until toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean, 50 to 70 minutes. Cool bread in pan on wire rack 15 minutes, then remove loaf from pan and continue to cool on wire rack.
