Cider Pumpkin Bread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Cream the wet ingredients all together
• 2. Sift the dry ingredients together including the Instant Hot Apple Cider Drink Mix
• 3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat for 2 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin seeds and craisins.
• 4. Pour batter into 9 greased mini loaf pans or two 9X5 loaf pans. (I spray some Pam in each pan but you can use whatever you like to grease them) Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes for the mini pans and 1 hour for the larger loaf pans. Use a cake tester or toothpick to test for doneness.
• 5. Mix the powdered sugar and milk into a thick consistancy and drizzle over the loaves and top with a few pumpkin seeds and craisins. Omit this step if your plan on freezing for future use and add it later when you are ready to serve. This recipe freezes well and I usually double wrap each loaf.
• 6. NOTE: you can add any kind of nuts or dried fruits in lieu of the pumpkin seeds and craisins. I have used chopped pecans and dates, walnuts and raisins, chopped dried mango and pineapple with pecans etc. Use your imagination and have fun!

Steps:

• Put the applesauce in a small saucepan and warm briefly over low heat. Sprinkle the yeast over the applesauce and set aside until it begins to foam, about 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl mix the flours, spices and salt. Make a well in the center and spoon the yeast mixture into the well. Using fingertips gradually work the flour into the yeast mixture while adding the hard cider. When the dough comes together in a ball, turn it out onto a floured board and knead it until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball. Place it in an oiled bowl, cover and let it rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Butter two 4 cup loaf pans. Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape each half into an oval loaf and transfer the loaves to prepared pans. Cover, and let rise again until the dough fills the pans, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Alternately chill the dough for at least 8 hours or up to 3 days.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place a roasting pan on the oven floor and fill it half full with hot water.
• Bake the loaves in the preheated oven until they are brown and sound hollow when rapped, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove the loaves from the pans and bake them for an additional 5 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before slicing.
