Applesauce Bread

1 TB (or package) yeast
2 1/4 cup bread flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
4 TB sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
2/3 cup applesauce
1 TB butter
1/2 cup apple juice or cider
1/2 cup shredded fresh apple, room temp

Combine applesauce, butter, juice in microwave safe bowl and microwave 1 1/2 minutes (until like warm, butter does not have to melt). Pour into mixer bowl and add yeast. Let sit 5 minutes or so. Add salt, sugar and spices. Mix. Add flours and shredded apple. Knead until dough clings to hook and sides of bowl are clean.

Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise until double.

Form into ring and place in bundt pan.

Cover. Let rise until double.

Bake about 15-20 mins on 350.

I made a glaze with apple cider and powdered sugar. It was gone in less than 15 mins! What a hit!
