Spiced pear, date, nut, oat and whole wheat bread by gloriam

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup Pears; whirled to death into mush in the Cuisinart, (ok ok, I pureed 4 pears)
1 tablespoon Oil; (what I had was cold expelled extra virgin olive oil)
1 tablespoon Honey
4 cups Whole wheat flour
½ cup Oats
2 teaspoons Vital wheat gluten
3 teaspoons Yeast
1 teaspoon Lemon zest
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
2 teaspoons Nutmeg
½ cup Chopped dates
2 ounces Bag chopped walnuts

Directions

My dates were whole with the pit in them, so i chopped them in the Cuisinart. ( And, yes, I did take out the pits first!!) What i did was to sprinkle them with the cinnamon and nutmeg so they woldn't all stick together on the blade. I figured they were dusted enough and I put them on the very top of the flour. I am just not one to wait for the beep. So in about 4:10 hours, i should know if this worked or not. I am aiming for a 2 lb loaf since my machine can handle that size. This was predicated on the need to either use the pears or watch 'em rot before I got them all eaten.

hence making a virtue of a necessity.
