Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 1/2 cup Granola
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this starts with the wet ingredients: water, applesauce, honey, and vegetable oil.
Next, add the dry ingredients: bread flour, granola, salt, and optional cinnamon.
Make a small well in the dry ingredients and add the active dry yeast. This ensures the yeast doesn't activate until mixing begins.
Set the bread machine to the 'Sweet' or 'Basic' bread setting if available. Choose a light or medium crust setting based on your preferences.
Start the bread machine and let it knead, rise, and bake according to its preset cycle. The total process should take approximately 3 hours, depending on your bread machine model.
Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the loaf from the bread pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Serve slices plain, toasted, or with your favorite spread. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
