For last weekend's market, I fully intended on making zucchini bread. However, I completely forgot to get my supplies on Thursday and then on Friday, forgot to stop at Willoughby's Produce on the way home from work to get zukes. I checked online and Publix wanted $1.99/lb for it :( I made it to Sam's - they don't even have zucchini. So, I found myself standing there in the produce section, blocking other shoppers with my stand-still brainstorming session, when it hit me....apple spice! 10 pounds of apples and a bag of walnuts later, I was headed home to try something new.
I have made a cinnamon apple crumb before, but as I previously blogged, it is complicated and not cost effective. This new variation does not include an apple layer in the middle, but rather diced apples throughout the bread with a very light and not so complicated brown sugar and walnut crumb on top. Not nearly as much butter required for this one. (The cost of butter is practically $1/stick!) I also made some muffins for market. And the samples were a huge hit!
Since my last blog about garlic loaf, I have tried it again and made it with 2 heads of roasted garlic in each loaf and also basted it in chunky garlic butter. Two!? You might say. Yes, two whole heads of roasted garlic, thus: Double Garlic Loaf. It smelled amazing! Instead of splitting the dough in half and baking it in round cake pans, I hand formed a torpedo loaf with one whole recipe of dough. I prepared three loaves and baked them next to each other on a large cookie sheet. They sort of bake together on the sides and you have to pull them apart when they come out of the oven - this is called a sister loaf. They looked and smelled amazing and sold really quick at market. Win!
