Directions

1
Place the yeast in the bottom of a bread machine pan or large mixing bowl.
2
Add the bread flour, oat bran, whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, wheat germ, and salt to the pan in the order listed.
3
Add the oil, honey, sliced bananas, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of very warm water to the pan.
4
Select the "White Bread" or "Dough" setting on your bread machine and press start.
5
Leave the lid open slightly. As the machine begins to mix the dough after one minute, slowly add the remaining 2 tablespoons of very warm water.
6
Allow the machine to complete the full baking cycle. If the dough appears too dry during mixing, add water one tablespoon at a time. If it is too wet, add a small amount of flour.

Once baked, remove the loaf from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
