Cinnamon Apple Sourdough Flat Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all of the dough ingredients, and mix and knead them - by hand, mixer, or bread machine - to make a smooth, fairly soft dough.
• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, and let it rise for 1 hour. Gently deflate it, and allow it to rise for another hour; it should have at least doubled in bulk, or come close to it. While the dough is rising, prepare the topping.
• For the topping: Core the unpeeled apples, and cut each into 8 wedges; an apple corer/slicer works well here. Cut each of the wedges into 3 pieces; you'll have 7 to 7 1/2 cups (about 27 ounces) of apple chunks.
• Put the chunks in a shallow microwave-safe bowl, and drizzle with the boiled cider and maple syrup. Don't have boiled cider or maple syrup? Drizzle with 1/3 cup honey, 1/4 cup agave syrup, or the sweetener of your choice.
• Microwave the apples till they've softened, but still hold their shape. In our microwave here, that took about 9 minutes.
• Drain the apples, reserving the juice. Set them aside to cool while the dough is rising.
• Lightly grease an 18" x 13" rimmed baking sheet (half-sheet pan), or two 9" x 13" pans. Drizzle olive oil atop the spray; the spray keeps the bread from sticking, while the olive oil gives the bottom crust great crunch and flavor.
• Gently deflate the risen dough, then pull and shape the dough into a rough rectangle, and place it in the pan. (Or divide it in half, and put in the two smaller pans.) Pat and stretch to fill the bottom of the pan. The dough will shrink back; as soon as it doe, cover it and walk away for 10 to 15 minutes. Return, and pat it towards the edges of the pan again. You may have to give it another rest; that's OK. Your ultimate goal is to stretch the dough to cover the bottom of the pan, with perhaps just the very corners uncovered.
• Arrange the apple chunks atop the dough.
• Mix 1/4 cup of the reserved syrup with 1/4 cup Baker's Cinnamon Filling or 1/4 cup cinnamon-sugar. The Baker's Cinnamon Filling will yield a richer, creamier topping. Drizzle the syrup over the apples.
• Cover the bread, and let it rise for 1 hour, till it's nice and puffy. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Uncover the bread, and sprinkle with coarse white sparkling sugar, if desired. Bake the bread for 25 to 30 minutes, till the crust is golden brown around the edges and feels set in the center. Remove it from the oven, turn it out onto a rack, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet.
• Mix 2 cups of flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add sourdough starter, egg, and vegetable oil. Mix well. Add remaining flour as needed. Dough should not be very sticky; if it comes out sticky, add more flour as needed, until it reaches a consistency that can be easily kneaded.
• Knead dough until smooth, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Roll dough out until it is fairly thin, roughly 1/4 inch. Place dough on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Manual/Mixer Method:.
• Mix all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Note: It's important to distribute the potato flour (or flakes) throughout the dry ingredients so it/they won't clump when the liquid is added. Add the butter, flavoring, egg and milk, then mix until a shaggy dough forms. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes; this resting period allows the flour to absorb the liquid fully, making it easier to knead.
• Knead the dough for about 10 minutes; it should feel slightly sticky and soft. Add a couple of tablespoons of water if the dough feels firm or dry. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl, and let the dough rise until it's almost doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The amount of time this takes will depend on the temperature of your kitchen; yeast works the fastest at about 85°F.
• Bread Machine Method:.
• Place all of the dough ingredients into the pan of your bread machine, program the machine for manual or dough, and press Start. About 10 minutes before the end of the final kneading cycle, adjust the consistency of the dough with additional flour or water, as necessary; it should be smooth and somewhat sticky. Allow the machine to complete its cycle.
• Filling:.
• While the dough is rising, make the filling. Whisk together the sugar, flour, cinnamon. (the filling will be runny, but it will firm up when baked.).
• Toss the grated apples with the lemon juice, then add that to the sugar mixture. Mix well, and set aside.
• Assembly:.
• Gently deflate the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured or greased work surface. Fold it over once or twice to remove the excess gas. Divide the dough in half. Roll the first half into a 10 x 12-inch rectangle. Spread half the filling over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1/2-inch margin clear of filling along all sides.
• Starting with a long side, roll the dough into a log, sealing the edge. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the log in half lengthwise. Place the half-logs, filled side up, side by side on a well-greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Keeping the filling side up, twist or "braid" the two logs together, working from the center to each end. Pinch the ends together. Repeat with the second piece of dough. Cover the twists lightly, and set them aside to rise for 1 to 2 hours.
• To Make Rolls:.
• Follow the directions above to the point where you've rolled the dough into a log. Repeat with the remaining piece of dough, then cut each log into 1-inch slices. Place the slices cut side up (and down) in well-greased or parchment-lined pans, placing them close together (though not touching) for soft-sided rolls, or about 2 inches apart for crustier rolls. Allow the rolls to rise till they're puffy.
• Baking:.
• Bake the loaves in a preheated 350°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes (or the rolls for 18 to 20 minutes), until they're lightly browned. Check the loaves after 20 minutes and tent with aluminum foil if they're browning too quickly around the edges. Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for about 1 hour before glazing and serving.
• Glaze:.
• Mix together all of the glaze ingredients and drizzle it over the loaves or rolls once they're cool. Yield: 2 loaves or about 24 rolls.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans.
• Whisk sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in flour just until evenly mixed. Add apples and walnuts; stir until well blended. Pour into the prepared loaf pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring the 3/4 cup of water to boil in a saucepan.
• Stir in the oats, turn heat to low and cover pan.
• Cook for 8 minutes, then cool to lukewarm.
• Place dried apples into a bowl or glass measuring cup and pour 1/3 cup water over them.
• Cover the container with a plate or plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute.
• Set aside, with cover intact, and let cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine starter, water, milk powder, cider mix, sugar and butter.
• Stir in the cooled oats and apples.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until it is a shaggy mass.
• Turn out onto a lightly oiled surface and fold the dough over onto itself repeatedly until it is supple and elastic.
• This dough should be quite soft and tacky, so don't add a lot of extra flour.
• Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, then fold it like a letter, turn 90 degrees and fold again.
• Wait another 30 minutes and repeat the foldings.
• Cover dough and let it rise until it is not quite doubled.
• Divide the dough into two portions and shape into loaves.
• Place in two loaf pans, about 4" x 8" that have been greased.
• Cover and proof until dough crests about 1" above rim of pans.
• Bake loaves at 375°F for about 45 minutes, rotating loaves halfway through the bake time for even browning.
• Turn bread out of pans onto a cooling rack immediately upon removing from oven.
• Cool at least 1 hour before slicing.
• Serve toasted or cold--I like to make a cream cheese spread by mixing some more of the spiced cider mix (to taste) into cream cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda, salt, baking powder and nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, applesauce, oil and milk. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , Transfer to a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Combine brown sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle over the top. , Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.Freeze option: Securely wrap cooled loaf in foil, then freeze. To use, thaw at room temperature.
