Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup skim milk
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/4 cup egg beaters=AE 99% egg substitute
1/2 cup mashed bananas
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate pieces

In a large mixing bowl thoroughly mix 1 cup of flour, salt, and yeast.
Combine skim milk and butter or margarine in a saucepan. Heat over low
heat until liquids are warm (110 to 120 degrees F. Butter or margarine does
not need to melt. Gradually add to dry ingredients and mix. Add egg
beaters, mashed bananas, chocolate pieces, and 1 cup of flour. Mix
thoroughly. Add enough flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly
floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 8 minutes.

Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm
place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch
dough down. Cover and let rise again, about 45 minutes. Shape into loaf
and place in greased 8" x 4" loaf pan. Cover and let rise in warm place
until dough fills pan and top of loaf is about 1" above top of pan edge,
about 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Uncover dough. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until
loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove from pan; cool
on wire rack.
