You may want to experiment with how you slash bread. Another way is to use a very sharp straight edged knife. It is placed flat against the top of the bread and is pulled quickly and sharply diagonally across, usually there is only room for three of this kind of deeply diagonally placed slashes. It is the classic slashing of French bakers, used on long loaves.

Just so you know, it worked just as well in a bread machine! Thank you~

I got to this recipe by searching Yahoo. I have to say that this looks tempting. Thanks for taking your time submitting this recipe!

Thanks for linking to my applesauce bread recipe (from A Crime Against Apples). For those who are wondering, my recipe works without a stand mixer or actually any kind of mixer. I don’t have one!

Jennifer: I’m jealous that you get to meet mamapigeon in person… and I’m jealous of her that she gets to meet you in person! Have a great time picking apples.

Gardenmom29 & momapigeon: I suspect you’re just looking for excuses to get stand mixers. The figure captions in my post emphasized the stand mixer because that’s what I use to mix dough these days. However, the bullet list in the text gives plenty of encouragement for someone to hand-mix the dough. I tweeted some guesses about how to adapt the recipe to a bread machine… I’ll accumulate those tweets in a later comment as encouragement for someone to try it and let us know how it works.

Momisodes: My family was very enthusiastic about this mix. I like it for the lack of fat and the inclusion of fruit. Honestly, it tastes more brown-sugary than it does appley, but it’s quite yummy.

This looks and sounds delicious. I think we have the same mixer.

We may head out for some apple picking this week, so this would be perfect. I can already imagine how wonderful the house will smell!

I don’t have a stand mixer either. Hmmm…maybe I’ll need to buy myself an early Christmas present. @4bratz2luv and I will be hauling home boxes of apples this weekend!!! Apple bread perhaps!!!

That looks interesting…however i do not possess a stand mixer (that works) or a bread hook. I do have a breadmaker. Do you think this recipe would lend itself well to being either hand-mixed or mixed in the breadmaker?
