Directions
(This is a little sweet & a little hot. It works well for sandwiches or with a meal.)
I added 3 teaspoons of vital wheat gluten and, when dough seems dry, one chopped apple with skin. (When humidity changes, so does the flour's need for more or less moisture. I find the "same" recipe requires varying moisture on different days.)
Add ingredients according to the order suggested by bread machine. Use basic bread cycle. Adjust moisture or flour or corn meal as needed.
Add fruit at the beeper or at the end of the first kneading in machines without a beeper to signal addition of fruit or nuts.

I don't use the K5A for months but the bread machine works great, minimal muss & fuss.] Posted to fatfree digest V98 #017 by bahilton@... (Bonnie A. Hilton) on Jan 17, 1998
