Ingredients
- 480 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams instant yeast
- 15 grams sugar
- 7 grams salt
- 300 milliliters warm water
- 60 grams unsweetened applesauce
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Add the warm water and unsweetened applesauce to the dry ingredients.
Step 3
Stir with a large spoon or use a stand mixer with a dough hook until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Once risen, gently punch down the dough to deflate it.
Step 7
Shape the dough into a loaf by folding it into a rectangle, rolling it into a log, and pinching the seams to seal.
Step 8
Transfer the shaped dough into a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Step 9
Cover it again with a kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes or until the dough is about 1 inch above the edges of the pan.
Step 10
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 11
Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 12
Remove the bread from the oven and cool it on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
