A delightful banana bread with a tropical twist of macadamia nuts, perfect for any occasion.
Place the dry yeast, flour, sugar, and salt into the bread maker.
Ensure the yeast does not come into direct contact with the salt to maintain its activity.
Add the egg, butter, bananas, and water to the bread maker.
Mash the bananas slightly before adding for easier mixing.
Set the bread maker to the sweet bread setting, light crust, and large loaf size, then start the machine.
Check the dough consistency after a few minutes of mixing; it should be slightly sticky.
When the bread maker signals for add-ins, add the chopped macadamia nuts.
Distribute the nuts evenly for consistent texture.
Once the bread is done, remove it from the bread maker and let it cool before slicing.
Allow the bread to cool completely to make slicing easier and to enhance the flavor.
