Subject: Banana Bread

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups toasted walnuts,chopped coarse(about 1 cup)
3 very ripe,soft,darkly speckled large bananas,mashed well (about 1
1/2
cups)
1/4 cup plain yogurt
2 large eggs,beaten lightly
6 tablespoons butter,melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat oven to 350
degrees.Grease and flour a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan;set aside.

Whisk flour,sugar,baking soda,salt and walnuts together in a large
bowl;
set aside.

Mix mashed bananas,yogurt,eggs,butter and vanilla with wooden spoon
in a
medium bowl.Lightly fold banana mixture into dry ingredients with a
rubber
spatula until just combined and batter looks thick and chunky.Scrape
batter
into prepared loaf pan and smooth surface with a rubber spatula.

Bake until loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center
comes out
clean,about 55 minutes.Cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire
rack.Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes: Greasing and flouring only the bottom of a regular loaf pan
causes
bread to cling to sides and rise higher.If using a nonstick loaf pan,
on
which sides are very slick,grease and flour sides as well as bottom.
Either
way,use a loaf pan that measures 9 inches long,5 inches across and 3
inches deep.
