Bread with lots of stuff in it
I made a batch of breakfast bread. The recipe is based on the C.R.O.W.W. (Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal Walnut Whole wheat) recipe from The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook.
1-1/2 cups water
1 packet of buttermilk powder
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
1/4 cup canola oil (or peanut oil)
2 cups bread flour
1-3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup brown sugar
2-1/2 tablespoons gluten
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla (the recipe originally calls for vanilla powder, but I never remember to buy any)
1 teaspoons salt (optional, I left it out)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon bread machine yeast
3/4 cup craisins
1/2 cup dried blueberries
15 dried apricot halves
3/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
Chop the nuts and the dried fruit in the food processor and add to bread machine 5-10 minutes before the end of the second knead cycle. This recipe has about 3 cups of extras (more if you didn't chop it as fine as I did), which is more than conventional wisdom says you should use (my bread machine book says that 1/3-1/2 cup of extras per pound is the maximum that should be used).
This is a 2-pound loaf recipe (and makes 3 pounds of bread).
Shape loaves, let rise for 45-60 minutes (it rises slowly), and then bake at 350F for about 25 minutes (until they sound done when tapped).
And, since we've been counting calories, the above recipe (based on starting ingredients, but off a bit because the yeast consumes part of the sugars) has, per 1/12 batch: 340 Calories (kcal), 11.4g fat, 1.7g saturated fat, 0.3mg cholesterol, 31.4mg sodium, 54.4g carbohydrates, 6.5g fiber, 17.2g sugar, and 9.4g protein.
Other than that, it's mostly been a Farmer's market weekend. Yesterday was the last outdoor market on the square for the season, and today was opening day for the Northside Farmer's Market, who called Maggs last night to see if she would vend, as they had had several artists back out at the last minute.
We're probably going to be at the Northside market for all four of their dates (today and then every two weeks after that), as, not only were we able to show up on little notice, they're really jazzed that Maggs is willing to do bead making and sculptural glass demonstrations (for which they're also waving vendor fees).
