Sweetness!

  Today's article is gonna be just a teensy bit different. Not much, though. See, I'm giving y'all a recipe that acts as the foundation of lotsa varieties. So today, I'll lay down something basic, explain why it's ground work, and talk for a bit about that phenomenon. Because I research stuff like that, so you don't have to. Now, since the key ingredient is timing, let's get into it!

     The item in question today is sweet bread. Which could mean variety meats but for now, I mean a certain kind of bread, that's also called quick breads. Like I said, I'll give you a basic one for now, but you have to stay tuned for the assortment of flavors. You probably recognize this one, but to make your own orange cranberry bread*, you're going to need:

1 cup all purose flour

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 tspn baking powder

1 tspn salt

1 cup choppd nuts

1-1/3 tbspn orange zest

1-14 cups milk

3 tbspn vegetable oil

My family's been enjoying this for years! But with slight changes, that make it easier, and, frankly, just better. First off, instead of zesting an orange, you can just use half a cup of marmalade. Obviously, if you do that, the marmalade is your sugar. And instead of nuts, use dried cranberries. I had to post the other recipe as written for legal reasons. You get it.

Anyway, in a lage mixing bowl, mix your flour, yeast, and all the other dry ingredients. Once you've got that, make a crater in the middle of that mixture.

At this point, go ahead and pour all your wet ingredients into the crater. Using a mixer or a trusty spoon, mix everything together. Pour all the ingredients into a loaf pan, and bake for 30 min. at 350 degrees F.

When that's all done, get your oven mitts, and pull it out. Be careful not to burn yourself, and to avoid escaping steam.

This is where I uually say, "Enjoy!" Which, I mean, you totally can. But real quick first: Remember those dry ingredients? Well, those are that base I mentioned earlier. And there are tons of ways you can play with it. So, stay tuned, because very soon, I hope to bring you some of those.
