We had several very ripe bananas, so decided to start with banana bread.
I made 3 batches using identical ingredients, except for the type of flour.
I heated the oven and gathered my tools and ingredients...

3 flours, from left: All-purpose (unbleached), Hard white wheat (what I use for yeast bread), and Soft white wheat (pastry) |

3 identical, ugly, old pans. Sprayed with Pam |

3 equally weighted amounts of mashed banana. I thought just going by number of bananas per batch could be too variable and affect results |
I used a fairly simple Banana Bread recipe from America's Test Kitchen's Family Baking Book

I marked each, so I'd know which was which. Again, left to right, all-purpose, hard white, & soft white |

So far, so good... The whole wheat loaves are flatter, but maybe the toothpicks on top weren't a good idea? |

Used to love doing these types of tests. Sadly, patience has not increased with age in my case. LOL. Jane

Doesn't take too long to eat 3 loaves here. One loaf would cause a riot. I see I need to visit Beantown and see what became of the Swiss Chard!
