Ingredients

  • 3-4 cup bread flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1.5 teaspoon quick rise yeast and .5 teaspoon regular yeast
  • 1/2 medium apple pureed
  • 2 Tablespoons Orange marmalade
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 3 Tablespoons flax seed crushed slightly

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Warm the water and add yeast to it. Let sit for 10 minutes or until frothy.
  • Puree the apple with little water, sugar and molasses.
  • Grease the mixer bowl and add 3 cups (390g) bread flour, 1 cup (130g) whole wheat flour, salt, flax seed and mix well.
  • Add in the yeast mixture, marmalade, softened butter and lime juice and knead for 10-12 minutes( 2-3 minute batches with occasional scraping)
  • Add more water or flour if needed. The apple will make the dougg more moist with time, so try to keep the dough a little on the dry side.
  • Place dough in well oiled container covered for 1.5 hours.
  • Punch it down and knead for a minute. Shape dough into a loaf by pulling on all sides and tucking under.
  • Place in bread pan, cover with kitchen towe and let rise for another 40 minutes.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F for 45-50 minutes or until nice a brown and sounds hollow.
  • Bread will have a nice dark crumb, which will be a bit hard right out of the oven, but will soften as the bread cools. Slice after the loaf has cooled completely. 

Notes

  • I usually keep the cool bread in the refrigerator for an hour before slicing to get nice and clean slices. I also store all the fruit breads in the refrigerator and consume within 4-5 days.
