Tangy Banana Sourdough Loaf (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 2 cups (250g) plain flour
02 - ½ teaspoon bicarb soda
03 - ½ teaspoon table salt
04 - ½ cup (113g) softened butter
05 - ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
06 - ½ cup (100g) white sugar
07 - 2 large eggs at room temp
08 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
09 - 4 soft bananas, smashed or diced
10 - 1 cup active sourdough starter

# Instructions:

01 - Warm your oven to 350°F. Cover a 9x5-inch bread pan with cooking spray.
02 - Mix up flour, bicarb soda, and salt in a bowl. Give it a quick stir with a fork. Put it aside for now.
03 - Using your mixer, beat the butter with both sugars on medium-high speed until they're completely mixed, taking about 1-2 minutes.
04 - Add your eggs, vanilla, and bananas, mixing until you've got just a few banana chunks left. Don't forget to scrape down the sides.
05 - Add the flour mix and sourdough starter, stirring by hand just until combined.
06 - Dump the batter into your greased pan. Let it bake for 55-65 minutes until a toothpick shows moist crumbs but no raw batter. Let it sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

# Notes:

01 - Go with lively sourdough starter
02 - Warm ingredients blend better
03 - Stop mixing once flour disappears
