Spiced applesauce and oat bread
Bread
Although I've been cooking since I was 14, I haven't been baking for long. It used to be something that I found intimidating and scary. Then, somehow, I discovered the zen of baking, let go of my fear, and started baking more. The delicious taste of home-baked items and the way they make the house smell made getting over the fear a bit easier. <br /> <br />Quick breads are some of my favorite items to bake and I was looking for a good one with a nice fall flavor. I found a recipe for an applesauce bread with rolled oats on a blog called Half-Assed Kitchen. With just a few quick changes I had the bread I was after. In went: some whole wheat flour, a bit more applesauce to replace some of the butter the original recipe called for, a mixture of spices for the autumnal flavor I wanted, and steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats for a chewy texture and nutty flavor. This bread has a moist, cakey texture, subtle flavors of apple and spice, and it will make your house smell amazing -- plus it's not terribly unhealthy. And who could ask for more than that?
