F - 130Once milk mixture is at a temperature you are comfortable with pour mixture into your stand mixer. Add salt, 2 eggs & bananas. Mix well. Add yeast and 2 cups of flour. Mix for 3 minutes to allow the yeast to truly mix into the dough. Add in additional 3 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add UP TO 1 more cup of flour a little at a time until dough no longer sticks to the side of the mixing bowl while mixing. Continue mixing dough for 5 more minutes. You can hand knead here, however I prefer to let me mixer do the job for me! Butter or spray a large mixing bowl. Place dough inside bowl and turn once to coat entire dough with butter or oil. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and let rice in a draft free spot until double in size. This takes about 45 minutes. Prepare 2 baking sheets by place parchment paper, non-stick foil, a Silpat or greasing the pans. Scoop out half the dough and form into a round loaf. Place loaf onto prepared baking sheet. Cut decorative slits in the top - loaf WILL rise while baking and this will help it keep it's beautiful shape. Scoop out other half and do the same for your second baking sheet. Cover again, and let rise again. Should take another 45 minutes. In a small bowl beat 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of water together. Brush this mixture on top of each loaf. Bake at 375*F for 20 - 30 minutes. My oven only required 20 minutes, however mine bakes a bit hot.
