New bread recipe - Fruit and Nut Breakfast Bread
Comments (49)Teresa, this bread is so good even after making major screw ups. Decided to try it in the bread machine on dough cycle with baking in the oven. Just as I was preparing to drain the fruit and add it, I found out a person I'd contacted about getting some fertile chicken eggs from to set under my broody hen had six for me. Out of show quality roosters and for free. And he said come and get them now. The bell rang for the addition of the drained fruit and nuts. I knew I hadn't drained the fruit enough, but I was in a hurry. Took off and halfway to my destination realized the dough cycle would be over a good while before I'd get back home. Sorry, but I really wanted those special eggs. The guy showed me all his show birds and got a lot of info from him. By the time I got back home I think the dough cycle had been done for two hours. I had a very wet dough that had risen in the pan then collapsed. Oh well, try to save it. Dumped it out on a liberally floured surface and kneaded in more flour, put it in the pans and let it rise. It did rise a little over the top of the pans.Tried my best and stuck it in the oven. It came out at 25 minutes completely done and beautiful except I didn't get the fruit and nuts distributed well. I've already eaten nearly half a loaf. Love it! Next time I think I'll add more cinnamon, follow the recipe on draining the fruit and not running out in the middle of it to get fertile eggs.

Comments (13)We love Woodie's Gilroy Garlic Bread - I'm posting the recipe below with the changes I've made in the notes. I've made the bread in advance by splitting it, spreading the butter on and then putting the two halves back together in the plastic bag in the fridge. Cuts down on last minute prep, for sure :-) Can you please share the Tuscan Garlic Chicken recipe? Becky * Exported from MasterCook * GILROY GARLIC BREAD Recipe By : Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 3/4 cup butter -- (1 1/2 sticks) room temp 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces) 6 tablespoons mayonnaise 3 large garlic cloves -- minced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano -- (generous) crumbled 1 1 pound loaf French bread -- halved lengthwise Thoroughly combine first 6 ingredients in medium bowl.

Comments (5)Ginger, this is looking like a good start: Italian Garlic/Pepper Bread Recipe By : Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Cheese Four Star Italian Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 1/3 Cups Water 1 1/4 Teaspoons Salt 1 Teaspoon Sugar 3 Cups Bread flour 2 1/2 Teaspoons Yeast 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic powder -- (or to taste) 1/2 Teaspoon Very coarsley ground pepper -(or to taste) 1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese -- UP TO 1 C -cut in 1/2 inch squares. Add the final three ingredients as late as possible in the final kneading stage. The bread is better if the islands of cheese are identifiable and if the pepper does not get GROUND into the dough by the kneading process. I enjoyed this bread at an Italian restaurant, so I tried to match it as close as I could. Used the basic recipe fro Italian bread in "The Bread Machine Cookbook" (#1) and added the garlic and pepper. Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Please let me know of your improvements on this very basic recipe....See Morearkansas girl
