EASY CINNAMON APPLE RAISIN BREAD



Easy Cinnamon Apple Raisin Bread image

This is an easy and delicious bread to prepare. Even better you only need one mixing bowl because you can throw all of the ingredients right in! Feel free to tweak the ingredients to your liking...add more cinnamon...add nuts, etc. I hope you enjoy it! Edited: I have also tried out the bread by using 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour and 1/2 regular flour, a tbl of wheat germ and less sugar to make it a tiny bit "healthier". It came out just as nice as the original.

3 1/3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon clove
2/3 cup chopped nuts
2/3 cup raisins

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh apples and raisins. If your apples are not very sweet, you may want to add a little extra sugar to the batter.
  • Properly Measure Ingredients: Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results. Alternatively, use measuring cups that have been leveled off with a knife.
  • Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the loaves tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a Loaf Pan with a Lid: A loaf pan with a lid will help to keep the loaves moist while they are baking.
  • Bake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to tell if the loaves are done baking.
  • Let the Loaves Cool Completely Before Slicing: This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
