sweet bread, sweet canadians.

November 27th, 2007

Yesterday, we got a care package from one of the Husband’s readers in Canada - maple syrup!  Everything about it was so cute (and sweet!), I had to take a picture…and then decided to make some bread while I was at it.  Why not?   Oh what joy Canada brings…

aww!

(Thank you George & Chrissy!)

maple bread

CARDAMOM & WALNUT SWEET MAPLE BREAD. 

Ingredients: (2 Mini Loaves)

1 tsp active dry yeast
½ cup warm water
1 tbs honey
1.75 cups whole wheat flour
2 tbs vital wheat gluten four
3 tbs milk
3 tbs maple syrup
1 tbs ground cardamom
1 tsp salt
1 tbs Canola oil
½ cup chopped walnuts

Bake Time: 25-30min, 375F

Dissolve yeast and honey in warm water; let sit for 10 min.  Mix dry ingredients, then add the milk, maple syrup, oil, and yeast mixture.  Knead on floured surface for 10-15 min, until dough is elastic.  Fold in walnuts.  Shape dough into a ball, coat well with oil, and keep in a covered bowl for at least 45 min (preferably in a warm place).  Punch out air from dough, put into loaf pans, and let rise again for 15 min before baking.

    Gotta say, Caaaanada has its qualities, but then, Jim Carrey wasn’t such a good idea. Bryan Adams on the other hand…
