A pantry mix of flour, sugar, dry milk and cinnamon that turns into a sweet apple cider loaf in the bread machine. Pack it in a jar or bag with the baking directions for gifting.

Ingredients

Dry mix

  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup dry milk
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

To bake one loaf

  • 1 cup warm water about 90F
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon apple cider
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped raw apple
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Directions

Make the mix

  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, dry milk, and cinnamon until well blended.
  • Keep the mix in a sealed zip-top bag or a quart-size mason jar, and label it with the baking directions.

Baking

  • Whisk the warm water, apple cider, honey, and egg until smooth.
  • Pour the liquid into the bottom of the bread machine pan.
  • Spoon the dry mix over the liquid.
  • Tuck the softened butter into the corners of the pan.
  • Press a small hollow into the center of the dry mix and drop in the yeast.
  • Choose the sweet bread setting for a 2-pound loaf, then pick your crust color.
  • Once the machine beeps for add-ins, drop in the finely chopped apple.
  • When the cycle is done, take out the loaf and let it cool fully before you slice it.

Notes

Storage: dry mix sealed in a cool, dry pantry up to 6 months. Baked loaf wrapped at room temperature 3 to 4 days, or sliced and frozen up to 2 to 3 months.
