I became enthralled with the idea of creating her latest farmer's market find: a sweet yeast bread filled with white chocolate chips and dried dark cherries. This isn't quite what I was looking for - the dough was more a batter than anything - but I'm going to keep at it! Read more ! Ingredients:
1/2 tbsp active dry yeast |
1 1/4 cups warm water |
1/3 cup honey |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
2 tbsp fat free vanilla yogurt |
1/4 cup lite margarine spread, melted |
1 egg |
1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour |
1/2 tbsp salt |
3 oz white chocolate chunks |
3 oz dried cherries |
milk for brushing crust |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl (or stand mixer fitted with the dough hook) combine yeast and warm water, stirring well. Let stand 10 minutes.
2. Stir in honey, then gradually add 3 cups flour, stirring well.
3. Beat in yogurt, margarine and egg until well incorporated, then add remaining whole wheat flour and salt.
4. Knead for 10 minutes, until strong gluteny strands form.
5. Add white chocolate and cherries, knead in for 1-2 minutes.
6. Place into an oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise for 1 1/2 hours.
7. Deflate dough and scrape into a large greased loaf pan.
8. Lightly cover and allow to rise 1 hour, until cresting the top of the pan.
9. Preheat oven to 375F.
10. Brush top of the loaf with milk and bake for 35 minutes until hollow-sounding when tapped.
