METHOD BY HAND
1. Mix together the flour and salt, then stir in the yeast. Then add in the banana and peanut butter.
2. Gradually mix in the water to make a soft dough. Knead well on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough and cover with a clean, damp tea towel to stop the dough drying out and leave in a warm place for about an hour to rise.
3. When it has risen, tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead well for 3 minutes. Place in a greased 1lb loaf tin, cover loosely with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm place for about half an hour.
4. Uncover and bake in a preheated oven at 230°C (Fan 210°C, Gas Mark 8) for 30-35 minutes. Remove loaf from tin and allow to cool before slicing and enjoying!
