Dutch Apple Bread

This is so yummy! One of my great childhood memories.


I guess you could use some of the freeze-dried apple slices for this recipe. We just really like it. It's easier with a kitchen aid mixer b/c the dough wants to travel up the dough hooks on a hand held mixer. I usually double the recipe. The recipe below is for 1 loaf.

1/2 c. milk
1/4c. margarine
1/4 c. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt (Heat these until mar. melts & sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm).

1 pkg yeast dissolved in 1/4 c. warm water (1 pkg yeast=2 1/4 tsp. yeast if you buy yeast in bulk)

2 eggs
3-4 cups flour (I started out with 3, mixed it, & added more if I needed to. It will still be a little gooey looking. I actually did half wheat half white flour when I made this yesterday & it was yummy).
1 medium apple-chopped

Mix it all on speed 2. Let rise in greased bowl. Punch down. Roll out in 9x14 rectangle. Sprinkle cinnamon mixture (recipe below) on it & roll it up. Sprinkle more on top. Bake at 350, 35-40 min.

Cinnamon Sugar Filling
2/3 c. plain flour
1/2 c. sugar
4 Tbsp. soft margarine
1 tsp. cinnamon

Mix well with pastry blender (I used a fork).

Pizza Crust (White, Wheat, or White-Wheat)

Did you catch that?


2 1/2 c. medium hot water
Dissolve 5 tsp. yeast in this water

2 tbs. sugar
3 tbs. oil
1 tsp salt
Add to yeast mixture

Gradually add 6 cups of flour (I do 3 white & 3 wheat)

Melt 1-2 cubes butter on a cookie sheet at 400 in the oven (it only takes a minute or two in the warmed oven-watch it so that it doesn't start burning on the cookie sheet). Put dough on top & spread out on the cookie sheet.

Allow to double (about 10-15 minutes).
Cook for 10-12 minutes.
Cut into strips or top with your favorite toppings.
