Cider and apple loaf

This is a nice little loaf, good to use the cider you've found at home and are not keen on drinking...

Cider does not this bread make - as cider, beer, ale give just very subtle flavour to the bread. But the apple chunks are interesting: you actually knead in the diced apples and it takes a bit longer than expected to incorporate the moisture.

Here's the link to detailed recipe.

Not a huge rise (what with all the apples) but the crumb is nice and slightly gloopy in a nice, wholemeal way and it makes quite an outstanding bacon sandwich.

squeeze them dry before adding to the mix during stretch and folds you will find the apple flavor will come though better .  Still, this is one fine looking apple cider bread with whole meal flour that makes it hearty and healthy too.  Well dine and happy baing

Very nice and must have tasted great.  I've made similar breads but without the apple pieces.  Will have to try adding the apple next time.

Happy Baking.
