SUCCESS TIP
If your bread machine has a 2-pound vertical pan, the loaf will be short, but still will have good texture and flavor. If your bread machine has a horizontal pan, however, there isn't enough dough to make a good loaf of baked bread.

SUCCESS TIP
If your bread machine doesn't have a Raisin/Nut signal, add the nuts 5 to 10 minutes before the last kneading cycle ends. Check your bread machine's use-and-care book to find out how long the last cycle runs.

SUCCESS TIP
Depending on the ripeness of your bananas, the dough may need a little more flour than the recipe recommends. Five minutes after the cycle begins, check the consistency of the dough. If the dough is not forming a ball and seems too wet, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a soft dough forms.
