Homemade Apple Bread

Instructions

• In a mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix for 1 minute. Next add water and half of the beaten egg. Mix. Add butter and mix until combined. Knead by hand until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
• Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. After that, punch the dough down and make a large round ball and allow it to rise for 10 minutes longer.
• Now take out the dough ball and roll it out with a rolling pin until you have roughly a 12 x10 inch rectangle that is about ¼ inch thick.
• Place the apple jam across the dough. Spread it across the surface of the dough but leave about a 1 inch border around the entire rectangle – so the jam doesn’t ooze out. Roll the dough up into a log. Cut the log into 7 equal slices using a sharp knife.
• Place the dough slices in a greased baking pan. Allow to rise for 10 minutes. Next, brush the remaining beaten egg over the top of the bread.
• Bake at 200°C for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve and enjoy.
