Recipe Introduction
Here is a second variation in the challenge to find more exciting breads for my family.
List of Ingredients
1 package Miss Roben's White Sandwich Bread
2 jars (4.5 fl oz) Organic Beginners Baby Food Squash*
1/4 salba seeds
1/4 flax meal
1/4 cup minced onion
4 tsp dried italian herbs (basil, oregano, rosemary, etc.)
1/2 cup tomato juice
1/2 - 3/4 cup room temperature water
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup diced black and green olives (optional)
*or 1 large egg and 1 egg white (room temp)
Recipe
Prepare the loaf pan by greasing and/or lining with parchment. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Combine baby food puree, tomato juice and oil. Whisk to blend. Add seeds, minced onion, herbs and olives (if using).
Poor in 1/2 the package of bread mix and the yeast packet. Stir gently with a fork to blend.
Add the remaining mix, and 1/2 c of water. Reserve the remaining liquid. Stir to combine. The batter should be pourable but not runny. If it is too thick add another portion of water.
Pour into a prepared pan and set aside for 20 minutes.
Bake at 325 for 40 - 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Without the hat, it easily browns too quickly on the outside. Hat should look something like this: _/\_ The two ends are open so the steam can escape, but the pyramid shape helps redirect heat into the centre of the loaf to encourage more even cooking between the crust and the inside of the loaf.
If you need yeast free, omit the yeast packet and add 2 additional tsp of baking powder to "help" that veggie puree.
