BREAD baking

[GLC1968]

Continuing to work my way through the Artisan Bread books....


I was in a baking mood on Sunday, so I let "the boys" (Jeff & his brother) choose a recipe out of the bread books. The only limitation was that I had to have all the ingredients already on hand!

They chose the Apple Streudel Bread from HBin5. So, I mixed up a batch of the Whole Wheat Brioche Dough (there are multiple options as a "base" for the recipe). Oh. My. Goodness. The Apple Streudel Bread is amazing. It basically involves finely dicing a couple of apples, and mixing it with raisins, walnuts, cinnamon (I add extra), and raw sugar. You roll out the doign thinly into a rectangle then spread the filling. Roll it all up and plop it into a non-stick loaf pan. Topping is an eggwash with cinnamon and a sprinkle of raw sugar.

It was eaten up before I could take a photo (and I'm happy to report I only ate ONE small piece! Willpower....)

Mmmm...sounds delicious!

I've got a batch of Volkornbrot (sp?) in my fridge right now. I'll make my first loaf this evening!
