Yeast: Chopped Apple-Streusel Bread




Source of Recipe


Sandy's Recipe Journal


List of Ingredients




Dough:
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup lukewarm water
1 1/2 packages active dry yeast
5 cups unbleached flour -- approximately
Streusel:
4 tablespoons cold butter -- cut into cubes
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 large Granny Smith apples (peeled and cored) -- coarsely chopped
Juice of 1 lemon


Recipe



For dough, scald the milk; remove from heat and add butter and salt. While this mixture cools to lukewarm, put the warm water in a bowl and dissolve the yeast. When the milk is tepid, combine the two mixtures.

Add flour and mix briefly. Then turn the dough out onto a heavily floured surface. Knead in more flour until dough is no longer sticky. Continue kneading until elastic. Put the dough in a clean, oiled bowl and cover it with a towel. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Just before the rising time is up, make the streusel by mixing the butter, cinnamon and sugar with your fingertips until it is the consistency of oatmeal. Peel, core and coarsely chop the apples; sprinkle them with lemon juice to keep them white.

Gather up the dough. Place on a well-floured surface and pat it out flat. Scatter half the apples and one-third of the streusel over the dough. Using 2 pastry cutters or spatulas, chop the apples repeatedly into the dough. Cut, cut, cut, fold over, and cut some more. Sprinkle on the remaining apples and another third of the streusel and continue cutting. The dough will be quite wet. Divide the dough in half and put it, as roughly cut as possible, into two oiled loaf pans.

Sprinkle remaining streusel over the loaves, cover the pans, and put the dough to rise for at least 1 to 1-1/4 hrs. (It should top the pans.) Bake in a preheated 350 F. oven for 50 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pans 10 minutes before turning out onto cooling racks. Drizzle, if desired, with powdered sugar glaze.

Makes 2 loaves
