English Muffin Bread
Ingredients:
2 pkgs. active dry yeast
1/2 c. warm water
5 c. all-purpose flour, divided
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 T. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1-1/2 c. warm orange juice
1/4 c. oil
1/2 c. chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 c. dried apricots, chopped cornmeal to taste
Dissolve yeast in water; set aside. Combine 2 cups flour, cinnamon, sugar, salt and baking soda; stir in yeast mixture. Blend in orange juice and oil.
Beat mixture on low until thoroughly combined. Increase speed to high and blend for an additional 3 minutes. Stir in nuts, apricots and remaining flour to form a stiff batter. Do not knead. Spoon batter into 2 lightly oiled 9x5 loaf pans; sprinkle with cornmeal over tops of loaves. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Makes 2 loaves.
Doesn't this sound good? I love that it has orange juice in it!! Bet it's amazing toasted. I can already smell the cinnamon and orange...oh wait, that's just my tea. Never mind. ;) And no kneading...sounds like a yeast quick bread. :)
