Banana Bread

Made banana bread today and learnt a few lessons along the way.
  1. Don't forget to add the yeast - its best to add the yeast before you add the water and the first kneading of the bread.
  2. Too much water is bad and makes the dough sticky - I added the correct amount of water, actually it was milk and water but I also added 2 eggs. What I should have done was reduce the amount of water used.
  3. Add the bananas at the start - its easier to add mashed bananas at the start than kneading it in later.
  4. Most importantly that non-stick bread tin is NOT non-stick
  5. Cleaning the oven from overflow from the rising dough in the bread tin is a pain in the arse.
