1-1/3 pkg (1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon) active dry yeast
3 c lukewarm water
1 Tbsp honey
5 c all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
3 c rye flour
1-1/2 Tbsp salt
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary or thyme leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
3-1/2 oz unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
1-1/2 c chopped pecans
1-1/2 c fresh cherries cut in half or quartered

  • 1. CHICKEN SALAD Make sure everything is cut into bite size. Mix well and chill for 2hrs. Cut you bread in thin slices and toast the bread lightly, add a small amount Alfalfa of sprouts to your bread and then add your chicken salad and another small amount of Alfalfa sprouts to the top of your salad and then add another slice of bread. Cut in half and lay on a plate This is one of the best sandwich's I have ever had.
  • 2. PECAN CHERRY BREAD Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup of lukewarm water. Put the remaining water, the honey, both flours, the salt, the rosemary or thyme, and the butter in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix for about 5 minutes. Add the dissolved yeast and continue to knead in the mixer for about 10 minutes, until the dough looks smooth and elastic and comes away from the sides of the bowl and comes together into a ball. Add the pecans and walnuts and continue to knead briefly just until the nuts look fully incorporated. Remove the bowl from the mixer and take out the dough hook, scraping any pieces of dough back into the bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean, damp kitchen towel and leave at warm room temperature until the dough approximately doubles in volume, about 45 minutes. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. With clean hands, knead the dough briefly, pushing it down and away, then folding it back on itself and giving it a quarter turn, just until it deflates and any air pockets have been removed. Butter and flour three 9-by-5-inch loaf pans. With a sharp knife, carefully cut the dough into 3 equal pieces and shape each into a cylinder 9 inches long. Place the cylinders in the prepared pans. Put the pans on a tray, cover with a clean, damp kitchen towel, and leave to rise at warm room temperature until the dough as at least doubled in volume, about 1 hour. About 20 minutes before the loaves are done rising, position the oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the loaves until they look nicely browned, about 20 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F. and continue baking about 25 minutes longer, until the loaves are a deep brown color and a loaf carefully tipped out of its pan sounds hollow when tapped on its bottom. Remove all 3 loaves from the pan and transfer to wire racks to cool. To serve, use a serrated bread knife to cut into slices 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick and toast as desired.

CHOCOLATE-CHERRY PECAN BREAD



Chocolate-Cherry Pecan Bread image

Here's something special! Based on the method outlined in The New York Times last November, this bread requires very little effort. But you do have to plan ahead-start it the night before, then bake the next day, or start early in the morning for bread in the evening. This recipe was developed using a bread crock, but any appropriately sized heavy, oven-safe, covered pot should work. This recipe comes from the King Arthur site. Times given do not allow for the long rising time.

Provided by Annacia

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rye flour, any type
1/2 cup traditional whole wheat flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
1 3/4 cups cool water
3/4 cup chopped dried cherries
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups diced pecans, toasted

Steps:

  • Mix flours, sugar, salt, yeast, and water in a large bowl.
  • Add cherries, chocolate chips, and pecans. Stir well to make a very soft dough, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  • Let rest at room temperature overnight, or for at least 12 hours; the dough will be bubbly and puffy.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and fold it onto itself a few times.
  • Let it rest 15 minutes, then form it into a ball.
  • Place it in a lightly greased bowl, smooth side down. Cover and let rise at room temperature about 2 hours, until a slight indentation remains when poked with a finger.
  • During the last 30 minutes of rising, preheat the oven to 450°F and place a bread crock (or a heavy, 4- to 4 1/2-quart oven-safe pot) in the oven while it heats.
  • When the dough is risen, remove the crock from the oven, and turn the dough out of the bowl and into the crock; the smooth side will be facing up.
  • Shake the crock gently to settle the dough, then cover with the lid and return to the oven.
  • Bake the bread for 20 minutes, then remove the lid and continue to bake another 30 to 40 minutes, until the bread is deep brown in color and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers about 205°F.
  • Remove the crock from the oven, turn the bread onto a rack, and cool before slicing. Yield: 1 loaf.
