APPLE WALNUT BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

This is for a bread machine, but can also be shaped by hand if you desire. I have done this with half white whole wheat flour (King Arthur) and it works well, too. If your machine has a "sweet" setting, use that, as it will keep the high-sugar contents from getting dark too fast.

Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 oz unsweetened applesauce
3 1/2 oz apple juice
1 tsp salt
3 Tbsp butter
1 large egg
4 c bread flour
1/4 c brown sugar, packed
1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp active dry yeast (quick acting)
1/2 c chopped walnuts
1/2 c chopped dried cranberries (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Measure all ingredients into the bread machine pan, in the order given. Select the "sweet" or "basic" setting. Start machine and operate according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • 2. If desired to shape by hand, operate machine using "dough only" setting. Remove dough from machine when done, cover, and let rest 20 minutes.
  • 3. Shape bread into a braid by dividing into 3 parts and rolling out into thin tubes, then braid together. Place on greased baking sheet. Brush with an egg wash. (Or place dough into well greased bread pan.) Allow to rise in warm place until doubled, about 45-60 minutes. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove immediately from pan and cool on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your bread.
  • Make sure your yeast is active. If you're using active dry yeast, proof it in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the bread machine.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread.
  • Let the dough rise until it has doubled in size. This will ensure that your bread is light and fluffy.
  • Bake the bread according to the manufacturer's instructions. Every bread machine is different, so be sure to follow the directions that came with yours.

Conclusion:

Apple walnut bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover apples. With a few simple ingredients and a bread machine, you can easily make this delicious bread at home.
