GOLD MEDAL™ CLASSIC WHITE BREAD

Steps:

• In large bowl, stir 3 1/2 cups of the flour, the sugar, salt, shortening and yeast until well mixed. Add warm water. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Stir in enough remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, to make dough easy to handle.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead about 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place 40 to 60 minutes or until dough has doubled in size. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.
• Grease bottoms and sides of two 8x4-inch or 9x5-inch loaf pans with shortening or spray with cooking spray.
• Gently push fist into dough to deflate. Divide dough in half. Flatten each half with hands or rolling pin into 18x9-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface. Roll dough up tightly, beginning at 9-inch side. Press with thumbs to seal after each turn. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. Pinch each end of roll to seal. Fold ends under loaf. Place seam side down in pan. Brush loaves lightly with butter. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place 35 to 50 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.
• Move oven rack to low position so that tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 425°F.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until loaves are deep golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to wire rack. Brush loaves with butter; cool.

CHUNKY APPLE YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the yeast and warm water. Stir and let stand 5 minutes. Add the sugar, warm milk, egg yolk, vanilla and salt and stir to combine. Add 2 cups of the all purpose flour and mix to combine. Add the softened butter, 1 Tbsp at a time and mix in.
• Switch to the kneading hook. Add 1 more cup of the flour and knead in. Begin adding the last cup of flour in small increments, adding only enough flour until the dough wraps around the kneading hook and cleans the bowl quite well. *You may not need all of the last cup OR you may need to add more than that last cup. Trust what you see in the bowl and add flour, as needed, to get your dough to that point.
• Remove dough to a floured work surface. Knead for 1 minute, then form into a ball. Place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• When dough is almost doubled, prepare your apple filling. Prepare the apples by peeling, quartering, coring and cutting into 1/2-inch-ish cubes. Place into a large bowl. Sprinkle with white sugar and cinnamon and stir to combine. Add egg yolk and stir in to coat. Set aside.
• Prepare two 8x4-inch loaf pans by greasing or spraying with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Remove dough to a floured work surface. Divide dough into two equal pieces.
• Take one piece of dough and roll into a roughly 10x15-inch rectangle. Scatter one half of the apple filling evenly overtop of the dough, then roll up, starting from the long side. Pinch seam together. Using a sharp knife or bench cutter, cut the log into 1-inch slices, then slice down the centre of the slices from one end to the other, making a bunch of smaller chunks. *If the cutting isn't clear, refer to the video below to see how it's done). Scoop up your chunks and place into your prepared 8x4-inch loaf pan. Adjust the dough chunks slightly, as needed, so that the top is as even as possible. (Any pieces sticking up much higher than others has a tendency to over-brown, so we'll try to avoid that).
• Repeat with the second piece of dough and the remaining apple mixture.
• Cover both loaves with greased plastic wrap and set to rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350F (not fan assisted), with rack in the centre of the oven.
• When ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap. Place loaf pans on top of a baking sheet (to catch any juicy bubble-overs).
• Bake at 350F for about 45 minutes or until the breads internal temperature reaches 210F when tested with an instant read thermometer. Check bread at about 30 minutes and cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning of the top.
• Allow loaves to cool in pans for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
• If glazing, prepare the glaze by mixing together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cooled loaves.

SWEDISH APPLE YEAST BREAD-BETTY CROCKER RECIPE CARDS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Plump 1/2 cup of raisins in either water or apple juice. Set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 9 x 9" or 8 x 8" pan. (I used 8 x 8" with perfect results.).
• Mix sugar and preferred spice with a fork in a small bowl. Sprinkle sugar mixture over melted butter in pan.
• Take a medium to large apple and cut into very thin slices. The original photo showed the apple with it's peel left on; I preferred to remove it.
• Arrange apple slices in rows, over the sugar mixture.
• Drain raisins and sprinkle over the sliced apples.
• In a large bowl, stir together the package of yeast and the 3/4 cup of warm water. Stir until completely dissolved.
• To the yeast, add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 cup of flour. Beat by hand 2 minutes or until batter drops from spoon in sheets.
• Add and beat until smooth 1 egg, 1/4 cup of shortening (I used very soft butter), 1 1/4 cup of flour, and the extra teaspoon of spice, if you prefer.
• Drop batter by small spoonfuls over the apples and raisins in pan, keeping dough close to each other. Cover pan and allow to rise in warm place until double; 50-60 minutes.
• Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until top is lightly browned.
• IMMEDIATELY remove the bread from pan by turning it upside down over serving plate. The sugar/butter mixture provides a glaze.
• Allow to cool. This is nice the first day and spectacular the second!
