Styled after the classic Hawaiian sweet bread and very good.
For optimal flavor and texture, ensure your banana is very ripe (with brown spots) for maximum sweetness and aroma. When adding the crushed pineapple, make sure it is well-drained to avoid excess moisture, which can affect the dough's consistency. While the recipe specifies a 'Light' setting, monitor your bread's crust towards the end of the baking cycle, as bread machine settings can vary. For an enhanced coconut flavor and texture, consider adding 1/4 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut along with the dry ingredients. Always allow the finished bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing; this prevents a gummy texture and allows the internal structure to set properly. If the dough appears too wet or dry during the initial kneading, you may need to add a tiny bit more flour or milk, but follow your bread machine's guide first.
