Banana Nut No Knead

The kids and I love banana nut bread. Being a cyclist, I eat a lot of bananas for the potassium. One nite I made up a story called "The banagel" where a man invents a banana nut bagel. The next day I googled to see if anyone sells banana nut bagel, but didn't find any. I did find 1 link to banana bagel, but it wasn't really banana nut flavor.

Here is the recipe

2 medium bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp Vanilla
1/4-1/5 cup light brown sugar
4 cups white flour
1.5 tsp salt
2 cups warm water
1/4 tsp yeast

Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl. Add walnuts, vanilla, salt, and brown sugar. Stir it a little so it's mixed. Add the four and yeast. Add the warm water and mix. It should look like a normal no knead dough. You can find it on YouTube, just search for Jim Lahey.

Let it rise 12 hours. Turn it out on your surface and form into a loaf. Preheat the dutch oven at 550F for a hour while the loaf rises. After an hour is up, take the dutch oven out, remove lid and put the loaf in the pot. Cover the dutch oven and bake at 500F for 30 minutes.

If you want to use the bread for sandwiches, bake uncovered for 3-4min to get a crispy crust. If you like a hearty crust, bake uncovered for 10-15min.
