APPLE RAISIN BREAD



Apple Raisin Bread image

I really enjoy making bread in the colder months. This loaf is one that I have played with a lot and it works no matter what I do to it. I have added nuts, vanilla, cinnamon/ginger, changed the apples to dried cherries( non sugared). I have used applebutter in place of applesauce and trimmed down the honey. Well, you get the idea. 8" cake pans are the perfect thing for baking this bread. It will make 3 loaves.

JIM'S APPLE RAISIN POUND CAKE WITH PRALINE GLAZE



Jim's Apple Raisin Pound Cake with Praline Glaze image

This is a very moist cake. With all the grated apples, raisins and pecans, it could stand alone without a topping; however with the praline glaze....well, you be the judge!

Provided by JimJimmy

Categories     Desserts     Specialty Dessert Recipes     Praline Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
3 cups apples - peeled, cored and shredded
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup raisins
½ cup white sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup half-and-half cream
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup chopped pecans
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, allspice, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • In a large bowl, mix the vegetable oil, 2 cups of sugar, eggs, apples, 1 cup of pecans, and raisins. Mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, and pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with moist crumbs, about 70 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to finish cooling.
  • For glaze, mix 1/2 cup of white sugar, the brown sugar, half and half, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a syrup, 5 to 10 minutes. A candy thermometer will read 220 degrees F (105 degrees C). At that point, stir in butter, 1 cup of pecans, and vanilla extract. Continue to cook and stir until the syrup reaches 234 degrees F (110 degrees C). Allow the glaze to cool for 5 minutes, then spread the warm glaze over the cake.

SOURDOUGH APPLE ALMOND RAISIN BREAD



Sourdough Apple Almond Raisin Bread image

This sourdough bread is inspired by a Moroccan Baked Apple dessert. It fills your kitchen with the fragrances of apples, raisins, almonds and oranges, and makes an excellent breakfast toast or accompaniment to afternoon tea or coffee.

Provided by Melissa Johnson

Categories     Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

Additions
2 medium apples 365g / cored and peeled 275g / cooked and mashed 3/4 cup
130g raw almonds chopped or ground in a food processor (1 cup before chopping/grinding)
120g raisins (1 scant cup)
50g water (~3 Tbsp)
20g honey (1 Tbsp)
6g salt (1 tsp)
3g orange blossom water (1 tsp)
1 Tbsp orange zest (too light to weigh)
Dough
365g bread flour (2 1/2 cups)
160g whole grain durum flour (1 cup)
350g water (1 1/2 cups)
75g sourdough starter (1/4 cup)
For Coating the Proofing Basket
2-3 Tbsp bran flakes (simply flouring the proofing basket to prevent sticking is fine too)

Steps:

  • Addition Prep
  • You can use pre-made apple sauce, or you can peel and core two apples, and then cook and mash the pieces. If using the microwave to cook the apples, simply put small pieces in a glass bowl, cover, and cook until they're soft enough to mash. If using a saucepan, you can cook the apple pieces in the 50g of water listed under Additions, rather than adding that water in later when mixing up the Addition.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in the Additions list in a small bowl, and set it aside to cool. The raisins and nuts will soak up some of the liquid.
  • Dough Mixing and Bulk Fermentation
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, water, and starter. Note the time and temperature as this is the start of bulk fermentation. Don't add the additions yet.
  • Cover and let the dough rest for about 30 minutes, and then stretch and fold the dough, going around the bowl several times until the dough is tighter. Click here to see a video of stretching and folding, as well as other forms of gluten development.
  • Cover and let the dough rest another 20-30 minutes, then add the Additions to the dough by folding or laminating them in (see the previous link for a lamination video as well).
  • Let the dough ferment until it's puffy and close to doubled. For my dough, this was about 10.5 hours at 71F room temperature.
  • Pre-shape, Bench Rest, and Shaping
  • Scrape the dough out onto a floured countertop. Sprinkle flour on the top of the dough and press it into a rectangular shape about 3/4 inch thick. Fold the dough in thirds and then in half. (See the gallery below for photos.)
  • Cover the dough with an inverted bowl and let it rest about 20 minutes.
  • Prepare a tea towel with flour and a layer of bran flakes in a circle or oval, depending on the shape of your baking vessel and final loaf. You can also spray your banneton with oil and coat it with bran flakes, or simply flour your banneton/liner and skip the bran flake coating on the bread crust.
  • Flip over your dough and shape it into a boule, batard, or oblong loaf. Shaping videos can be found here.
  • Using a bench scraper, flip the shaped dough onto the tea towel (or into your prepped banneton). Then lift the towel and place it into your banneton. The base of the bread should be facing up.
  • Final Proof and Baking
  • Cover and proof the dough at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or in your refrigerator overnight (8-14 hours).
  • Preheat your oven and baking vessel to 500F for 30 minutes.
  • Gently flip the dough out of the banneton and into the bottom of your baking vessel or onto parchment paper first for an easier transfer.
  • Score the top of the dough, then cover the vessel and return it to the oven.
  • Bake at:
  • 500F for 20 minutes lid on
  • 450F for 10 minutes lid on
  • 450F for 10 minutes lid off
  • The internal temperature of the bread should be at least 205F when it's done.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool a minimum of 2 hours before cutting.

Apple raisin bread with orange glaze is a delicious and healthy way to start your day. It is a perfect breakfast or snack option with rich flavors, lovely aromas, and appealing textures. If you are looking to make this delicious recipe, keep reading as we provide you with some valuable tips that will make your apple raisin bread with orange glaze recipe a success.

Tips for making apple raisin bread

1. Choose the right apples
Choosing the right apple is one of the key requirements for making a perfect loaf of apple raisin bread. It is recommended that you use apples which are firm, sweet, and juicy such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. These apples will hold their shape during baking, so the bread will have chunks of apple that remain intact.
2. Use high-quality raisins
Raisins are another crucial ingredient in apple raisin bread recipes. It is recommended that you use high-quality raisins to ensure the best possible flavor and texture. You can use golden raisins or regular raisins, but try to avoid using preservative-laden or poorly stored raisins as these can ruin the texture and flavor of your bread.
3. Add a pinch of cinnamon
Adding a pinch of cinnamon to your bread mixture is a great way to ramp up the flavors in your apple raisin bread. Cinnamon adds zing to the bread and complements the apple and raisin flavors very well. You can also add a bit of nutmeg to further enhance the warm spices in the bread.
4. Use brown sugar
Using brown sugar instead of white sugar is another great way to augment the flavor profile of your apple raisin bread. Brown sugar is sweeter and adds a molasses flavor to the bread. Using brown sugar will also make the bread moister and add a caramel-like color to the crust.
5. Combine dry and wet ingredients separately
To ensure that all ingredients blend well and evenly in your apple raisin bread recipe, it’s vital to mix the dry and wet ingredients separately before combining the two mixtures. This method allows you to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined and that your bread will have the desired texture.
6. Let the bread cool before slicing
Allow your apple raisin bread to cool to room temperature before slicing it. If you cut the bread while it's still hot, it can lead to it falling apart and not being able to hold its shape.

Tips for making orange glaze

1. Use freshly squeezed orange juice
To ensure the best possible flavor in your orange glaze, use freshly squeezed orange juice. The fresh juice is brighter, has a better flavor profile, and not sitting around picking up other flavors.
2. Zest the orange
Adding orange zest to your glaze mixture will ramp up the flavor and aroma of your glaze recipe. Use a microplane zester or grater to zest the orange before squeezing juice from it. The zest holds most of the oils and aroma, making it more flavorful than the juice.
3. Keep the glaze simple
A simple glaze requires only a few ingredients, including confectioners’ sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. Resist the temptation to add too many ingredients, like vanilla, as it can overpower the orange flavor.
4. Adjust the consistency
To get the right texture, adjust the consistency of your orange glaze. If it is too thick, add a bit more orange juice, and if it is too thin, add more sugar. The right consistency will allow the glaze to cling to the bread and not drip off.
5. Apply the glaze after the bread has cooled
Once your bread has cooled, apply the orange glaze evenly on top of the bread with a pastry brush or spoon. Doing so will ensure that the glaze seeps into the bread's nooks and crannies, making it extra flavorful.

Conclusion

Apple raisin bread with orange glaze is the perfect breakfast or snack option rich in flavor and nutrients. The above tips will ensure that you get the perfect loaf of apple raisin bread with an orange glaze. Choose the right apples, use high-quality raisins, add a pinch of cinnamon, use brown sugar, combine all ingredients separately, let the bread cool before slicing, use freshly squeezed orange juice for the glaze, add orange zest, keep the glaze simple, adjust the consistency of the glaze, and apply the glaze when the bread is cool. These tips will help you make a delicious and mouth-watering apple raisin bread that is sure to delight everyone at home.
