This delightful bread combines the comforting flavors of applesauce and cinnamon, perfect for any occasion.
Place the applesauce, grated apple, and softened butter into the bread machine pan.
Ensure the butter is softened to mix evenly with the other ingredients.
Add the brown sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the pan.
Layer the dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients to prevent premature mixing.
Add the whole wheat flour and bread flour on top of the wet ingredients.
Create a small well in the flour to place the yeast.
Add the bread machine yeast into the well in the flour.
Ensure the yeast does not come into contact with the wet ingredients before the machine starts.
Set the bread machine to the 'white bread' setting, medium crust color, and 1.5 lb loaf size. Start the machine.
Check the dough consistency during the kneading cycle and adjust with water or flour if needed.
Once the bread is baked, remove it from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Allow the bread to cool completely to make slicing easier and prevent crumbling.
