Aloaha Bread

Aloha Bread is just so yummy! It has some of my favorite things like, bananas, pineapple, coconut, and pecans. In my opinion you cannot make anything wrong with those ingredients! Yum. I found this recipe in my Lion House Classics cookbook.

1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup mashed bananas
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained (I used tidbits)
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 cup coconut


Grease 2 large 8X4 inch loaf pans, set aside. In large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs; stir in bananas. In separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; add to banana mixture. Blend well, but do not overmix. (Overmixing causes tunnels and a coarse texture.) Add pineapple, pecans, and coconut, mix on low speed until blended. Pour into prepared pans. (Pans should be two-thirds full.) Bake at 325 degrees for 60-80 minutes. Makes 2 large loafs.

This is my mother-in=laws recipe for bread. It is so yummy. It was written out on my sister-in-law Ruby's blog! Hopefully they don't mind. Holy cow this recipe was good and easy!!! It seriously took about 45 minutes to make!

In a Pyrex glass combine and let double:
2 T yeast
2 T sugar
1 cup warm water

While the yeast is rising combine in a large bowl or mixer the following:
10 cups flour ( I use 1 cup of wheat)
1/2 cup sugar
1 T salt
Then add the bubbly yeast mixture with the following:
3 cups warm water
1/2 cup oil
mix by hand for about 5 minutes or with a mixer on low for 2 minutes.
Let rise till doubled. It took about 20 minutes.


Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. The rolls bake for about 10 to 20 minutes depending on how many you put on your cookie sheet. Brush melted butter over the rolls as soon as you take them out of the oven.
