Sourdough Teff Banana Bread

Makes: 1 9×5-inch Loaf or two pound bread machine loaf, light crust setting.

Ingredients:
● 2 bananas, mashed
● 1 to 1 1/4 cup Teff Sourdough Starter
● 2 cups gluten free flour mix with xanthan or guar gum. I used this flour blend
(Gluten Free Flax & Ancient Grains All-Purpose Flour) but am sure any would work
fine.
● 2-3 tbsp of tapioca starch
● 1 tsp. salt
● 1 cup turbinado sugar or any raw sugar
● 2 eggs
● 1 1/4 tsp. vanilla
● 1/2 cup Ghee, or you could probably use softened butter.
● 3 tbls water kefir (you could use seltzer) and then normal water to reach
right consistency as it was a little thick for me. But you could use plain water,
or none, depending. The bubbles in the kefir (or seltzer) help it stay fluffier
as teff is pretty dense.

Directions:
1. Cream the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
2. Nuke the bananas in the microwave for 1 minute, then mash them. This makes
the banana flavor stronger. Mix the sourdough starter and mashed bananas into the
creamed mixture. Stir in the water kefir or seltzer water.
3. In a separate bowl, add the flour, and salt. Add the flour mixture to banana
mixture and mix just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
4. Pour the batter into a greased 9×5-inch bread pan.
5. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf
comes out clean or almost clean. Mine was still a little clingy but not by much.
6. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before removing
from pan.

I used my bread machine on the quick bread/cake setting. Adding all the combined
liquids first (except I added water while it was mixing as I could tell the mix was
too thick) and then the dry ingredients on top. But if you have one, follow the
general directions for your machine. When it beeped it was done mixing, I paused it
and removed the paddle before pressing start again to bake.
