BREAD, YEAST: Fruited Oat Bran Bread
Submitted by beachdee on April 24, 2004 at 9:23 pm

1 1/2 cups water*
3 Tblsp coconut butter/oil or veg oil
3 Tblsp molasses or honey
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon (or cardamom for variation)
1 1/3 cups oat bran
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder (try buttermilk powder for variation)
1 1/2 tsp. gluten or 3 tsp. Laura Brody's Dough Enhancer
2 1/2 tsp yeast
1/3 cup diced pear (or get creative)
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped dried apricot

Put all ingredients except fruit into bread machine and start. Add fruit 5 minutes before the final kneading cycle ends, or according to your machine's "add raisins, etc." setting. Makes a 1 1/2 pound loaf.

*NOTE: You can do many things with this recipe, including using part fruit juice for water; use any diced fruits you like, just remember if they are much juicier or wetter than those listed to adjust recipe accordingly. Trader Joe's had a diced dried fruit mix they used to sell (we don't have one here so I don't know if they still sell it) that would save time.

A tropical version could be made using diced dried pineapple instead of raisins, chopped mango instead of pear, etc. you get the picture!
