Instructions
Bread Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350. Grease one 9×5 pan or two 8×4 pans.

3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add in eggs and beat until mixed.
5. Sift in flour, baking soda, and salt.
6. Stir until just combined.
7. Add mashed bananas, and mix.
8. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes (for two 8×4 pans) or until the cake tester comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs stuck to it. If using one 9×5 pan, bake at 350 for 30 minutes; then lower the temp to 325 and bake for 15-20 or until the cake tester comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs stuck to it.
