Banana Loaf from Amish Friendship Bread

i think this is probably the 1st & the last time i'm making "bread"..

got the "starter" from a friend during Christmas; & by following the recipe & instructions, i baked a banana loaf (& luckily it tasted good)!
here's the recipe/instructions:

start with 1 bag of live yeast starter..

Day 1:
Do nothing with the starter.
Days 2-5:
Mush the bag.
Day 6:
Add to the bag: 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk. Mush the bag.
Days 7-9:
Mush the bag.
Day 10:
Pour the contents of the bag into a non-mental bowl & add: 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Stir. Take out 3 cups and place 1 cup each into three separate plastic containers. Give one cup and a copy of this recipe to three friends. To the balance (a little over one cup) of the batter, add the following ingredients and mix well.
1 cup oil
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

In a separate bowl combine the following dry ingredients and mix well:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 bananas (mashed)

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix and pour into two well greased and sugared bread pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
