Abbot’s Whole Grain Apple Bread

Description

Abbot’s Whole Grain Apple Bread is baked for Monday and Friday handoff. We have found that freshly milled organic whole grain flour makes an extraordinary foundation for apple bread. Our Abbot’s Apple Bread begins much like our hearth bread—with whole wheat berries milled only minutes before the dough is mixed—but uses a slightly different blend of wheat varieties selected to complement the flavor and character of the apples.

The wheat berries we select often come from regenerative farms that seek to enrich the soil with their cultivation practices rather than deplete it. We mill the whole grain ourselves so that the flour goes into the dough fresh, fragrant, and complete, with the bran and germ still exactly where they belong. Nothing is stripped away, bleached, chemically treated, or adulterated with preservatives.

Into that freshly milled whole grain dough we incorporate cinnamon and apples, creating a substantial yeast bread with gentle natural sweetness, a moist crumb, and the warm flavor of fruit carried through a true loaf of bread. This is not a cake or quick bread masquerading as breakfast. It is real, fermented whole grain yeast bread built around wheat, apples, and ingredients we are proud to serve to our own families.

God gave us grains and fruit with remarkable flavor and nourishment already built into them. Why “refine” the grain by removing much of what makes it valuable, only to manufacture flavor and texture back into it later? Our customers—and the people they are feeding—are far too important for us to treat them that way.

Abbot’s Whole Grain Apple Bread is wonderful simply sliced and eaten on its own, lightly toasted with butter, or paired with breakfast. But it may reach its highest calling as French toast. The whole grain structure stands up beautifully to an egg-and-milk custard, while the apples add another layer of flavor as the slices brown in the pan.

If you find yourself developing a craving for our bread, we know the feeling!

Because there are no preservatives in our recipes, slice and freeze what you don’t think you will eat in 2 days. Store the bread in its original packaging to help maintain freshness on the counter. It is recommended to use a sealable freezer bag for any portion frozen for future use.

What Makes This Loaf Different

• Freshly milled organic whole grain flour retains the bran and germ rather than separating them from the flour.
• A wheat blend selected specifically for Abbot’s Apple Bread gives the loaf a flavor and texture designed to complement the apples.
• Apples contribute natural sweetness, moisture, fruit flavor, fiber, and naturally occurring plant compounds.
• Organic extra-virgin olive oil contributes richness, tenderness, and naturally occurring vitamin E and olive phenols.
• Organic eggs add complete protein, choline, vitamin B12, selenium, lutein, and zeaxanthin.
• Local honey contributes flavor, browning, moisture, and small amounts of naturally occurring plant compounds.
• Organic vital wheat gluten strengthens the dough and raises its protein content.
• Organic potato flakes help the bread retain moisture, tenderness, and a softer crumb while contributing potassium and small amounts of vitamin B6.
• As a true yeast bread, its substantial whole grain crumb makes it especially well suited for toast and French toast.
