Machine, yeast- Hawaiian Honey Bread
List of Ingredients
2/3 cup pineapple juice
1 large egg
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 drops yellow food coloring
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons dry milk
3 cups bread flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
Recipe
Be sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you place them in your bread pan in the order listed. Reserve the nuts until the machine signals that about five minutes remain before the end of the second kneading.
Select a sweet bread setting and a light to medium crust color. Start machine.
You will want to do a quality check on the dough early in the cycle. Open the lid after the machine has kneaded the dough for about five minutes. The dough should be a soft tacky ball so that the dough can stretch easily during the rising time. If the dough is still sticking to the sides or bottom of the pan, you will need to add a bit more bread flour. If the dough is crumbly and not in a ball, or if the ball is hard and not tacky, you should add more water. Your bread machine still has plenty of kneading time left to work the water into your bread dough. Keep checking your dough until you are satisfied with the ball that has formed.
Add the macadamia nuts at the machine's signal, or five minutes before the end of the second kneading.
If the nuts do not easily work into the dough, your dough is too stiff and will not rise adequately. Add a teaspoon or so more water.
After the machine has completed the baking cycle, remove the pan from the machine and transfer the bread from the pan on a wire rack to cool. If you cut the bread before it has cooled for about an hour, it will look doughy. It must cool completely to allow the structure of the bread to set.
Note: To complete Hawaiian Honey Bread in your oven: Select the dough cycle.
Most machines do not have a signal with the dough cycle to add nuts or fruit. Also, most machines have only one kneading time with the dough cycle. So you can either add the macadamia nuts with the other ingredients or be careful to watch your kneading time and add them five minutes before it is done.
When the cycle is complete, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round loaf.
Place the dough in a greased 8-inch or 9-inch pie or cake pan. Cover, let rise in a warm place until an indentation remains after lightly touching the side of the dough, 20 to 30 minutes.
Combine 1 egg and 1 tablespoon water and brush this mixture on the dough. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown, or until thermometer registers 190 degrees. Remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
