Vegan Fresh Ground Whole Wheat Apple Cinnamon Bread

This is just one of the many bread recipes I developed when I owned ECE Academy. We had about 80 children and served about 9 loaves of fresh ground whole wheat bread every day, made in my 3 Zojirushi bread machines. This is a 2 pound machine so be sure to adjust if you have a smaller machine. One of the reasons I loved my Zo's so much was the little pin that made the bread dough flip. I never had a mistake or bread that rose too quickly or too slowly. And, all of these recipes are kid tested. Oh, by the way, we did not serve butter with our bread, just the tasty bread! Of course, if you or your family have gluten issues, you can substitute a non gluten flour. Experiment to see what works! 2 tsp SAF yeast 2 C whole wheat kernels (makes approx 3 cups flour) 1 tsp sea salt 1 Tbs Tofu White Drink Mix 3 Tbs wheat gluten 1 heaping Tbs cinnamon 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil 1 Tbs honey or agave 1 cup diced apples (small dice) 1 C plue 5 Tbs filtered or distilled water Place the yeast into the Zozirushi bread pan. Grind the wheat kernels into flour an dplace 3 Cups of it into the bread pan. Add the sea salt, Tofu White Drink Mix, cinnamon and gluten. Add diced apples. Measure oil first, then honey or agave into the bread pan (this helps the honey to slide right out). Add 1 Cup plus 5 Tbs filtered or distilled water and put it into the bread maker. Put onto full cycle (on the Zo, it's the white bread cycle). Watch and listen to be sure there is enough water int he bread pan. add more, a tablespoon at a time, as needed. Note: Apples and cinnamon are an early morning smell that makes our school very special! the apples also give us good fiber and lots of vitamins and minerals.
