Unripe they are quite similar to potatoes. Ripe they are sweet, a little like bananas, but still very different.

I'm not too sure about making bread with plantain, because the taste would be different than with bananas (less exotic and fruity, blander). But, I guess that you could cook an overripe plantain, mash it and add it to your dough.
