Dutch Apple Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 2 tsp butter
• 3 cups flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons yeast
• 1/2 cup diced apple (peeled)
• 1/3 cup walnuts or crushed walnuts

Instructions:

1. Begin by preparing the yeast mixture. In a small bowl, combine half a cup of warm water with a teaspoon of sugar. Add the yeast to the warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, butter, and the remaining water. Knead the ingredients together until well incorporated.
3. Once the yeast is activated, add it to the dough mixture and knead until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional water if needed.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the diced apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and walnuts. Allow the mixture to sit for half an hour to let the flavors meld.
5. After the resting period, combine the apple and nut mixture with the dough, ensuring even distribution.
6. Grease a bread mold with oil and transfer the dough into the mold.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 40 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
