I made this yummy apple-raisin quick Bread this morning and unfortunately, my husband and I have practically eaten the whole thing before I thought of how useful it would be to get the recipe down here. I'm sorry. I know it would have been nice to have seen the whole loaf. Maybe the next time I make it (there will be a next time) I will remember to photograph the whole loaf.
In the meantime, here is the recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups of self-raising flour (see below)
- 2 cups (16 oz) apple sauce, sweetened
- l teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 to 1 cup Thompson's raisins (or other raisins)
Canadians don't often use self-raising Flour. It is so handy to have on hand for biscuits, and the like. Here is a recipe:
For every one cup of flour (all-purpose), use 1 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 salt.
I want to make 6 cups of self-raising flour so include:
6 cups of flour, 9 teaspoons of baking powder, and 3 teaspoons of salt.
I whisked the above well and stored the additional quantity in a plastic Ziplock bag in the fridge.
MAKING THE BREAD:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour and cinnamon using three or four strokes across the bowl. Mix in the raisins
- Add in the apple sauance, and with a spatula, Mix thoroughly to combine.
- Line a 8"x4" bread pan with parchment (or use a silicone pan).
- Spoon in the dough and smooth, evening the corners.
- Put into the oven and bake at 375 degrees F. for 45 minutes.
- Leave the bread in the pan until totally cool, or until cool enough to take out and place on a rack.
- Slice and enjoy!
This quick bread has a nice even crumb similar to yeast breads and the fragrance is very apple-y. It is soft and tastes delicious! Try it!
