Instructions

1
Grease and line a 21cm x 11cm x 6cm deep loaf pan with parchment paper.

Insert the wire rack into position 7. Set the oven to Bake, Convection, 165°C, for 1 hour 10 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.

The banana bread is ready when a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If not, cook it a little longer.
