Apple Date Oat Bread
Mar. 15th, 2010 06:44 pm1.5 cups skim milk (may sub water)
2 tsp dry yeast
2.5 Tbs brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
0.25 cup oil (I used Smart Balance oil blend)
0.5 cups rolled oats (not quickcook)
2.75 cups flour (I did half unbleached bread flour and half whole wheat)
1tsp salt
0.5 cups chopped dates
0.5 cups chopped dried apples
1tsp cinnamon
healthy dash of pumpkin pie spice (ginger nutmeg allspice cinnamon)
0.5 tsp salt
If you use a bread machine, set it to regular bread with a light crust setting and add the fruit mix when it beeps. By itself though, I'd suggest mixing the wet and dry ingredients, letting it sit 5-10 to allow gluten to form, then adding in the fruit mix. Let it rise to double, punch it down, form a loaf, put it in a greased pan and let it rise again. When it looks ready (i.e., the size of a breaf loaf), bake it at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
