Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Water
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 cups Bread flour
• 1 cup Rye flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.5 cup Dried apples (finely chopped)
• 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Add the water, unsweetened applesauce, honey, salt, and vegetable oil to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Step 2

Layer the bread flour, rye flour, and whole wheat flour evenly across the liquid ingredients in the pan.

Step 3

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the flour mixture and create a small well in the center of the flour. Place the instant yeast in the well, ensuring it does not touch the liquid ingredients.

Step 4

Secure the bread machine pan into the unit and select the Basic or Whole Wheat cycle, depending on your bread machine model. Choose the medium crust setting, if available.

Step 5

Start the bread machine. When you hear the add-ins signal (usually during the kneading phase), add the finely chopped dried apples and, if desired, sunflower seeds.

Step 6

Allow the bread machine to complete the cycle, including kneading, rising, and baking the bread.

Step 7

Once the cycle is finished, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine. Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
