Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water (100-110°F)
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3.25 cups All-purpose flour
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and honey. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates the yeast is activated.
Add the unsweetened applesauce and salt to the yeast mixture, and stir to combine.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once the dough starts to come together and is difficult to stir, transfer it to a clean, lightly floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a sprinkle of flour, but avoid adding too much to keep the bread soft.
Lightly coat a large bowl with non-stick cooking spray. Place the dough in the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 12 equally-sized pieces and shape them into rectangles or squares. Place the pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with non-stick cooking spray, leaving some space between them.
Cover the baking sheet with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has risen, bake the bread for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. For an optional touch, brush the top lightly with a small amount of honey for a subtle glaze before serving.
