Apple-Cinnamon Granola Bread
Yield: 1 loaf, 12 servings

2-1 / 2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour

1-1 / 4 cups whole wheat flour

3/ 4 cup granola2 tablespoons sugar

1 envelope (1/4 ounce or 2 1/4 tsp) Fleischmann's RapidRise Yeast

1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 / 2 cup water

1 / 2 cup milk

1 / 2 cup applesauce

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granola, sugar, undissolved yeast, salt, and ground cinnamon. Heat water, milk, applesauce, and butter until very warm (120 to 130 F). Gradually add to dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Roll dough to 12 x 8-inch rectangle. Beginning at short end, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seam and ends to seal. Place, seam side down, in greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Bake at 375 F for 30 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
