Experience the delight of Nanaimo bars in a whole new way! I played with a bread recipe and crafted a yeast loaf that will elevate your taste experience, featuring coconut, dried cherries, chocolate, and a touch of vanilla custard/pudding powder, and a handful of pecans. A sweetness that's just right; not too much. Love it!
Ingredients
1 cup milk 244g
4 tbsp sugar 49g
2 tbsp butter 28g
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 - 3 1/4 cups a.p. or bread flour 360g
3 tbsp vanilla custard or instant pudding
1 tbsp dark or reg cocoa powder 5g
1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut 57g
2 tsp instant or active dry yeast 6g
1/3 - 1/2 cup chopped pecans or nut 35g
1/3 cup chocolate chips 56g
1/4 cup dried cherries, chopped in half 36g
Instructions
Measure first 10 ingredients into baking pan as recommended by your bread machine. Add the nuts, chips, and cherries during the last 5 mins of kneading. Or if your machine beeps or drops the ingredients.
Hold back 1/3 cup of the flour and see how it forms at the 5-6 minute mark. Use the Sweet setting. I used the Light crust setting.
You may need to add flour to the dough ball or liquid. It should be smooth and slightly tacky. You can touch it. It should form a ball and not be sticky on the bottom.
Susy ‘s Tips and Tricks
Measure your ingredients. With flour you want first fluff up the flour in the bag or canister with a spoon until it's light. Use a whisk or a spoon. I use the scoop I keep in my flour bin.
Then sprinkle it lightly into a dry cup measure (the kind that measures exactly a cup at the rim).
Scrape any excess off with the back of a knife.
Bread flour may need slightly more liquid than all-purpose. We’re talking a couple tsp.
You may add more nuts( 1/2c) as desired. I used the lesser quantities.
