1. 1

   In large bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups flour, dates, pecans, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120 to 130 degrees F); stir into dry ingredients. Mix in eggs, banana and enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes. Cover, let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each to 15-inch rope. Braid 3 ropes for each loaf; pinch ends to seal. Place on 2 greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
