Yummy Banana Bread

1 Cup butter, melted

2 Cups white sugar

4 eggs

2 teaspoons Vanilla 

3 Cups flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 Cup sour cream

4 medium bananas, mashed

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 2 9x5 inch loaf pans.

In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix well. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the butter mixture until smooth. Finally, fold in the sour cream and bananas. Spread evenly into the prepared pans.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool loaves in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

ENJOY!

I love this roll recipe, although, I like to make cinnamon rolls out of the dough. They are to die for. Sometimes I like to split the dough in half and make half rolls, half cinnamon rolls.  If you decide to make cinnamon rolls, you'll need to follow these directions. Once you've punched down the dough for the second time, you'll roll out dough and spread 1/2 cup melted butter, 1 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon. Roll up, cut and lay on a sprayed baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled and bake. Spread your choice of icing over rolls when slightly cooled. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions you may have!
