Apple Cinnamon Raisin Pitas Bread Machine Recipes

Steps:

• Put the first 7 ingredients in the pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Set for a medium crust.
• At the beep add the peeled and diced apples.

Steps:

• Remove pan from bread machine and place on electronic scales and zero them.
• Pour in the water (240ml water weighs 240 grams) and weigh in the rest of the dough ingredients in order.
• Replace the pan in the bread machine and start machine on a raisin or equivalent 'speciality' setting. I prefer 'normal' crust for this.
• In small bowl weigh the raisins and dried mixed citrus peel. Add the spices and mix together.
• Into a second small bowl, peel about 1/3 of an average size eating apple (I usually have Braeburn apples handy but pretty much any apple is fine except the tasteless ones like Golden Delicious and Gala). Chop into small chunks somewhere between roughly 1/4 and 1/3 inch in size. Once in the bowl, sprinkle with another teaspoon of ground cinnamon and stir with spoon to cover the bits well (to take the moistness off the sides of apple bits so they mix in better).
• Add dried fruit & spice mix at 4 minutes before end of final kneading or at the beep if you trust your machine not to mash the fruit like mine always does. (My LG machine beeps nine minutes before end of final kneading which is far too soon - it can reduce dried fruit to the size of grains of sugar during that time!).
• If you trust your machine not to mash the apple then you could maybe add it a minute or so before kneading finishes. I don't trust mine in the slightest so here's what I do --
• Wash hands in very cold water and dry well just before the final kneading completes then --.
• -- when kneading has completed, quickly add the chopped apple and quickly mix it well by hand. (Shouldn't need to remove pan from bread machine to do this (unless it's in an awkward place! :).
• Slightly more stuff to do for this loaf than usual, but it's absolutely worth it!

Steps:

• 1. Place ingredients except apples and raisins in bread machine in order that your machine specifies.
• 2. Set to "dough" setting and allow to complete cycle, adding the apples and raisins when your machine alerts you to add nuts/fruit. I actually have found that kneading these in by hand is actually easier, as they're a bit finicky to get worked through the dough.
• 3. Separate into 10 balls. Press each ball into a 4" round with your hands - you'll likely need to stuff some raisins and apples back in - it's worth it. Place on nonstick cookie sheets and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
• 4. Preheat oven to 500. Flip rounds, then place in oven for 5 minutes, flip again; turn oven down to 350 and bake for 15-20 minutes longer, until cooked through.
• 5. Remove from pan onto clean towel and cover while cooling.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Take peeled and chopped apples and place them in a micowave safe bowl.
• Add water to the apples and microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
• Combine apples and all remaining ingriendients and mix thoroughly.
• Pour mixture into a greased loaf pan.
• Bake for 1 hr to 1 hr 15 minutes.
• When done let sit for 15 mins before removing from pan and placing on a wire rack.
• Enjoy!
