Years ago when I was in tech school I had this bread called aloha bread.?

Question

This bread if I remember correctly had pineapple and coconut in it. I cant remember what else. Does anyone have this recipe.

Answer 1

ALOHA LOAF BREAD
1 c. butter
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 c. mashed ripe bananas
4 c. sifted flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1 sm. can crushed pineapple
1 c. shredded coconut
Cream butter and sugar; add eggs; mix well. Stir in bananas. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Mix well. Fold in undrained pineapple and coconut. Pour into greased and floured 9"x5" loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until it tests done. Remove from pans and cool.

NOTE: I just grabbed this from cooks.com, so I can't answer the question below exactly, but from the looks of other recipes for aloha bread, this must make two loafs because the other recipes only call for two cups flour. I would think the author of this recipe (not me) meant a 15 oz. can.

I found a second recipe:

1 c. butter
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 c. mashed ripe banana
4 c. sifted flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 (15 oz.) can crushed pineapple
1 c. shredded coconut (opt.)
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs; mix well. Stir in bananas. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture and mix well. Fold in undrained pineapple and coconut. Pour into 2 greased and floured 9"x5" loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Check at 1 hour. Remove from pans to cool.

Answer 2

Aloha Hawaiian Banana Bread


3 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups Splenda sugar substitute
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped nuts (macadamias are preferred)
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup canola oil or olive oil
2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, in its own juice,drained
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons honey
bakers joy cooking spray (or extra flour and shortening)

Your will need: 2-8 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 3 loaf pans.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray two 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 3 loaf pans with Bakers Joy (or grease and flour) and set aside.
In a Medium bowl,combine the first 5 ingredients and stir with a wire wisk to blend well.
Stir in nuts to combine and set aside.
In another bowl, combine the eggs, oil, mashed bananas, pineapple, vanilla and honey (if you're using Splenda) Stir lightly just to mix.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix only enough to moisten the dry.
DO NOT overmix or your bread will be tough and heavy.
Its ok to have some lumps.
Spoon the dough into the two pans,making sure to divide it equally between the two.
Bake for about 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes.
A good rule of thumb is to check after about 50 minutes.
Insert a toothpick or bamboo skewer into the center to test for doneness.
This bread will crack-- don't worry.
Once done, remove to wire racks and cool for about 10-12 minutes in pans.
Turn the bread out carefully onto the racks.
Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes upside down, then carefully turn right side up to finish cooling.
As with any bread, slice with a serrated knife and enjoy.
Just a note-- if you use Splenda or any artificial sweetener.
the shelf life will be shorter and texture may not be the same than if you had used real sugar.

Answer 3

Dashelame -

This recipe sounds good.
What do you consider a "small" can of pineapple? (ounces?)
Also it says to pour into greased loaf pans - does this make two?
Please specify.
Thanks!
