Ingredients List

• INGREDIENTS
• For the dough:
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup water lukewarm
• 1/2 cup sugar divided
• 1/2 cup milk scalded
• 1/3 cup butter unsalted, melted
• 1 large banana mashed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading + rolling)
• For the filling:
• 2 tablespoons butter softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 3 bananas
• 1/2 cup walnuts finely chopped
• For the icing:
• 2 ounces cream cheese softened
• 4 tablespoons butter unsalted, softened
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons milk (as needed)
• 1/4 cup walnuts finely chopped (optional)

 Directions

1. For the dough:
2. In a small bowl, add yeast and 2 teaspoons of the sugar to the lukewarm water and let it sit until it dissolves, about 10 minutes.
3. In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer using the dough hook attachment, (or a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer) add scalded milk, melted butter, mashed banana, remaining sugar, and salt and mix on low speed until combined.
4. Add half of the flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture and continue to mix on low. Slowly add the remaining flour until fully incorporated.
5. Remove dough from mixer bowl and then knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes. Make sure you knead for the whole time. Remove dough, place in a greased bowl, cover, and set aside on countertop or warm place (I put in my microwave without turning it on). Let it rise until it is double in size, about 1.5 hours. Not a minute less!
