Rosemary Apple Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Sift flour, sugar, and rosemary together into a large mixing bowl. Pour in beer; stir to combine. Stir in apple and Cheddar cheese until well combined; batter will be stiff and sticky. Scoop batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven and pour melted butter on top. Return to oven and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes more.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour three 5 1/2-by-2 1/2-by-2-inch loaf pans. Set them aside.
• Heat milk to scalding. Remove from heat and add raisins. Stir in 4 tablespoons of the butter and let cool.
• In a small saute pan over medium heat, cook apples in remaining 1 teaspoon butter with 1 tablespoon of the sugar until apples are glazed and somewhat soft, about 3 minutes. Add rosemary.
• Combine flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the egg into cooled milk-raisin mixture.
• Add the diced apples to dry ingredients but don't combine. Pour wet mixture over the dry and mix with a few quick strokes, until dry ingredients are just moistened. Do not overmix.
• Fill prepared pans to about 3/4 full. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean. Let cool.

Steps:

• Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 2 3/4 cups flour, salt, rosemary, and yeast in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk.
• Add water, stirring until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface.
• Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands. Cover and let rest 5 minutes.
• Knead in apple. Place the dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Shape dough into a loaf; place dough in an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Gently press dough into pan; cover. Let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Bake at 375° for 45 minutes or until bread is lightly browned and sounds hollow when tapped.
• Brush top with butter. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.
