Apple bread

My husband is currently working from home in our Iceland house, and somehow I find it comfortable if I bake a sweet bread at least once a week and then we eat it during his lunch break, preferably nicely buttered if the bread is already from yesterday or the day before yesterday.

Recently we had the fluffy spice cake , this week it was this apple bread, which is a bit reminiscent of a yeast plait.

Ingredients

450 g flour
2 Tbsp oat flakes

1 pack of dry yeast

1 tsp salt

250 ml apple juice

2 Tbsp oil

1/2 apple

1 Tbsp oat flakes for sprinkling

Preparation

In a large bowl, add the flour, oat flakes, honey, yeast, salt and apple juice and knead everything into a smooth dough.

Add the oil and knead.

Finally, wash and peel the apple and then cut half the apple into small pieces.

Carefully fold the apple pieces into the dough.

Then cover the dough and let it rise for about a quarter of an hour.

Then place it in a well-greased loaf pan or one lined with baking paper and cover it again in a warm place and let it rise for about 3/4 hour until the dough has risen nicely.

Then sprinkle the apple bread with the remaining oat flakes, press it down carefully and let it rise for another 10 minutes.

In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C) upper/lower heat.

Then bake the apple bread in a preheated oven at 400 °F (200 °C) upper and lower heat for about 25 minutes (test with a toothpick!).

Then let the finished apple bread cool down a little, carefully remove it from the mold and serve sliced.
