Banana Yeast Bread

3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
5-1/4 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon water

In a saucepan, cook and stir milk, butter and sugar over medium heat until butter
is melted; cool to 120°-130°. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour,
yeast, salt, 2 eggs, bananas and milk mixture; beat on low speed until combined.
Beat on medium for 3 minutes. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a
firm dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about
4-6 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let
rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Divide dough in half;
shape each into a round loaf. Place on a greased baking sheet; cut slits in tops.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Beat remaining egg with
water; brush over the loaves. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until golden
