Linus had these little people-shaped crackers? cereal? that he was snacking on, so i was inspired to make my bread a little differently.

What you need
1-1/2 cups flour
35 NILLA Wafers, finely crushed (about 1-1/4 cups crumbs)
2-1/4 tsp. CALUMET Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine or butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup PLANTERS Walnut Pieces, divided
Make It
PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Mix flour, wafer crumbs, baking powder and salt; set aside.
BEAT margarine and sugar in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add eggs; beat until light and fluffy. Blend in bananas. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1/2 cup of the walnuts. Spread into greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup walnuts.
BAKE 1 hour 10 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 min. Remove from pan to wire rack; cool completely. Cut into 16 slices to serve.
I got some leftover dough from another recipe, so I rolled it up with plenty of cinammon, brushed it with egg and...off it went! "Sweet sourdough buttery stick", plenty of butter and milk in there... 100% sourdough. The dough was slightly under-proofed, it could have been lighter, but it didn't have any hint of the sour starter,
Kai and his preschool buddy (and families) got together for dinner. The two kids got to cut out some shapes for pan-fried bread.
This was an overnight pure leaven bread that I FORGOT to add salt to. The next morning, I added the forgotten salt and let the bulk rise go for another 2 hours. Then, I formed the loaf (30 min. bench rest first) and let it rise 4 hours at room temp and 30 min. in the fridge. I didn't think it would turn out as well as it did!
I am not usually a food photographer - but homemade jam and bread is so good. Someone left a mess out on the table (why they didn't eat it? I don't know) and I had my camera. View Large
Bill decided to use the leftover yeast from the bread to make a starter. Now I have a reason to make some sort of yeasty bread product at least once every two weeks!
We roughly followed Alton Brown's instructions for a commercial-yeast based starter:
2 cups warm (~100ËšF) water
1 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 cup flour
Mix ingredients together. Place in warm (80-95ËšF) spot for 24 hours to grow the colony. Use all starter or feed 1 cup each of flour and warm water* and then refrigerate. Use 1 cup starter every two weeks. If unused for 1 month, discard half, allow to warm to room temperature and feed 1 cup warm water and 1 cup flour.
Hopefully this will stay strong until summer when I can try and culture some wild yeast and have my own variety of Cupertino sourdough.
Edit: 24Mar11:
*All of this won't fit in a quart-sized mason jar and still have room for growth.
I'm leaving mine out of the fridge for the timebeing, hoping it will help catch some wild yeast, so I have to feed it daily. I've successfully been keeping it at around 2 cups total and feeding no more than 1 cup water and flour per day. Yesterday I only gave it 1/4 cup flour and water in the morning and 1/2 cup flour and water in the evening and removed about a cup this morning to add to my sourdough pancakes.
This is the first loaf of bread I made with my new bread machine I was given as a gift. Did the whole mixing kneading and baking process in the machine.
