2	c	Flour
1	ts	Baking soda

NOTES:

* This recipe is from my friend Ayalla -- It makes a heavy, but moist, loaf of banana bread.

* If you use more than 3 normal-size bananas, I suggest that you lower the oven temperature and cook for a while longer. Otherwise, the crust comes out almost overcooked while the middle remains moist and almost undercooked.

: Difficulty: easy. : Time: Preparation: 10 minutes; baking: at least 95 minutes. Allow some time for cooling. : Precision: Approximate measurement OK.
