MAPLE WALNUT AND FIG BREAD

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Yield 2 9- by 5-inch loaves

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3/4 cups (10 1/2 ounces) dried figs, diced
1/2 cup (4 ounces) warm water (85 degrees to 90 degrees F)
2 2/3 cups (12 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 2/3 cups (6 1/2 ounces) cake flour
1 3/4 cups (5 1/4 ounces) old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/3 cups (11 ounces) maple syrup
1 1/3 cups (11 ounces) milk
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 large egg yolks
3/4 cup (6 ounces) canola oil
2 cups (8 ounces) walnut pieces, toasted
Additional maple syrup for glazing

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the diced figs in a medium bowl and add the warm water. Let soak until softened.
  • Whisk the unbleached flour, cake flour, oats, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Put the maple syrup, milk, eggs, egg yolks, and canola oil in a medium bowl and stir with the whisk to combine. Add the mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spoon just until all the flour is moistened. This should be a wet batter, because the oats absorb a lot of the liquid during baking.
  • Fold the walnuts and figs into the batter (the figs do not need to be drained). Divide the batter evenly between two oiled 9- by 5-inch loaf pans. Bake for about 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (If your oven bakes unevenly, rotate the pans from left to right and front to back about halfway through the baking time.)
  • Remove the pans from the oven and use a pastry brush to glaze the tops of the loaves with maple syrup. Set them on a rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Turn the loaves out of the pans and set them on the rack to cool completely before serving. Wrap any leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature. They may also be frozen, wrapped first in aluminum foil and then in plastic wrap or a heavy-duty freezer bag.

MAPLE AND WALNUT BEER BREAD



Maple and Walnut Beer Bread image

Ok, this is a specific recipe ... but is also a method. The flour beer and sugar are consistent ... everything else is extra. Here are some of my favorites and you can really do what you like. Dried vs fresh herbs are best, not too many "wet" ingredients; such as olives, onions, sundried tomatoes, etc., and if you add cheese, no more than 1 cup. - Chile beer at any specialty liquor store, monterey jack cheese and cilantro - Pumpkin beer, yes in the fall, pecans, rosemary, and swiss cheese - Any good dark like Amberbock, apples, dried cranberries and gruyere - Honey wheat, caramelized onion, cheddar, and thyme - Light beer, green chilies, jalapeno jack and cilantro - Red berry or any berry beer, walnuts and provolone with cinnimon - Any dark beer, raisins, cranberries, cinnimon and brown sugar vs white - Bock beer, sundried tomatoes, olives and oregano - Maple or pumpkin beer, cinnimon, raisins, pecans and dried apples I have used bacon bits and cheddar; all herbs; or just cheese. Endless combinations. But this is a favorite for breakfast or even a late night snack with cream cheese. Many of these are available year round at most larger liquor stores any many of the beers are available during seasons, like the Pumpkin and Maple available during the Fall and Winter months. A hearth Bock for some brewers is available in winter and it is good with Mediterranean flavors. Now this is the basic recipe ... 12 oz beer (I use a standard bottle with is 12 oz) 3 cups flour self rising, sifted (sifted is important), if not using self rising, use all purpose, but add 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup sugar (flavorings) However below is my updated recipe for the maple walnut.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-10 slices, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces beer (maple flavored)
3 cups flour, sifted (self rising)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • The batter -- Sift the flour and add to a large bowl. Add the sugar, beer and seasoning and mix. I do like the beer to set for a few minutes so it isn't ice cold. Pour all in a loaf pan and cook for 50-60 minutes at 375. Half way through brush the melted butter on the top of the loaf for a golden color. For the sweater breads I usually top it with melted butter.
  • Have fun with it and try a variety of flavors. Just stick to the basic recipe and it is virtually full proof. I have probably made 50+ varieties by now.

MAPLE WALNUT BREAD - GF



Maple Walnut Bread - GF image

A great maple-tasting bread for gluten free fans. Recipe is from the Pure Canadian Maple Syrup site.

Provided by Daily Inspiration S

Categories     Savory Breads

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/4 c gluten free flour blend (such as king arthur)
2/3 c tapioca flour
2/3 c potato starch
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 c maple syrup (feel free to reduce the syrup to your desired level of sweetness)
1 c buttermilk, at room temperature
2 large eggs
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
3/4 c chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flours, starch, baking powder, soda, xanthan gum, cinnamon, and salt.
  • 2. Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter turns a nut brown color. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • 3. In a large bowl, combine maple syrup, buttermilk, and eggs. Stir in browned butter. Add wet ingredients to the dry - stir just until combined. Stir in walnuts.
  • 4. Pour mixture into a well-greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Bake 55-60 minutes, until it rises and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Prep ingredients beforehand: Measure and gather all ingredients before starting to mix. This will ensure you have everything you need and avoid scrambling to find ingredients while you're in the middle of preparing the bread.
  • Use unsalted butter: Unsalted butter allows you to control the amount of salt in the bread, resulting in a more balanced flavor. If using salted butter, reduce the added salt in the recipe accordingly.
  • Bring eggs and buttermilk to room temperature: This will help them incorporate more easily into the batter, resulting in a smoother and more even texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no dry flour remains.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: Slicing the bread while it's still warm can cause it to crumble and fall apart. Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Maple walnut bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its sweet and nutty flavor, moist texture, and easy-to-follow recipe, this bread is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
