1. Pour OJ and hand-hot water or buttermilk into bread machine pan. Add mashed bananas and honey.
2. Sprinkle four over the liquid and fruit so it is completely covered. If using water, sprinkle the nonfat dry milk powder over the flour, but do no use it if you are using buttermilk. Place the salt and butter in 2 corners of the pan. Make an indentation in the flour with your finger without exposing the liquid and add the yeast to it.
3. Place the bread pan in the machine and close the lid. Set the machine to the basic setting, medium crust and press start. If the dough looks very sticky towards the end of the first kneading, add further bread flour.
4. Just before the baking cycle starts (about 2 hours after the start), brush the top of the loaf with milk to glaze if you like. When the cycle has finished, switch off machine. Remove pan with oven gloves and turn out the bread on to a wire rack to cool.
