A nice spiced bread that is not overly sweet and is best served warm with coffee and butter for a not to sweet mood or for a sweeter mood try serving with honey butter or sweetened whipped cream cheese. This is traditional cardamom bread from Red Star that I have tweaked to make it slightly healthier. Ingredients:
4 -4 1/2 cups whole wheat flour |
14 g active dry yeast |
3/4 cup splenda sugar blend for baking |
2 teaspoons ground cardamom |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon clove |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 cup water |
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk |
1/2 cup smart balance omega plus |
1 cup egg beaters egg substitute |
Directions:
1. In large mixed bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, cardamom, salt, cinnamon, cloves and ginger; mix well. Heat water, milk and butter to 120F to 130F, butter does not need to melt. Add to flour mixture; add eggbeaters. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, graduall stir in enough remaining flour to make a stiff batter. 2. Spoon batter into a well greased 12 cup Bundt pan. Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Bake in pre-heated 375F oven for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown. Remomve from pan; cool for about 5 to 10 before serving. |
