Baking: Winter Apple Bread

Best bread recipe ever, I swear!

Another Dan Lepard recipe, this one is a wholemeal loaf made with grated apple, onion and toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds. There is almost no fat in the recipe but the apple makes the crumb almost as moist as cake. I used the steam method to bake it (a tray of boiling water placed on the shelf under the loaf in the oven) which got me a firm but not crunchy crust.

Dan recommends this bread for a pork sandwich, which is how I planned to eat it. But pulled pork takes a long time to cook and by the time I was done with the bread I was hungry. So I turned the first few slices into cheese on toast using mild cheddar mixed with a little soft cheese and a wee bit of mustard. Seriously, this is the best cheese on toast I have ever eaten!

I can't wait to try it with the pork.

ETA: I got it from Dan's book but I found the recipe online if anyone wants to try it.
