 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3      cups          unbleached flour
    1      teaspoon      salt
    2      teaspoons     active dry yeast
      1/2  cup           skim milk
    1      tablespoon    butter or margarine
      1/4  cup           egg beaters=AE 99% egg substitute
      1/2  cup           mashed bananas
      1/3  cup           semisweet chocolate pieces
 
 In a large mixing bowl thoroughly mix  1 cup of flour, salt, and yeast.
 Combine skim milk and butter or margarine in a saucepan.  Heat over low
 heat until liquids are warm (110 to 120 degrees F. Butter or margarine does
 not need to melt.  Gradually add to dry ingredients and mix.  Add egg
 beaters,  mashed bananas, chocolate pieces, and 1 cup of flour.  Mix
 thoroughly.  Add enough flour to make a stiff dough.  Turn out onto lightly
 floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 8 minutes. 
 
 Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top.  Cover;  let rise in warm
 place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.  Punch
 dough down.  Cover and let rise again, about 45 minutes.  Shape into loaf
 and place in greased 8" x 4" loaf pan.  Cover and let rise in warm place
 until dough fills pan and top of loaf is about 1" above top of pan edge,
 about 30 minutes.
 
 Heat oven to 375 degrees F.  Uncover dough.  Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until
 loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped.  Immediately remove from pan;  cool
 on wire rack.
