Ingredients

2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup 100% bran cereal
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 envelope Fleischmann's® RapidRise Yeast
1/2 cup Musselman's® Original Apple Sauce
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter OR margarine
1 egg

Directions

  1. Mix 1/2 cup flour, cereal, sugar, salt, baking soda and undissolved yeast in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Combine applesauce, milk, water and butter; heat to very warm (120ºF to 130ºF). Butter does not need to melt. Add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg and 1/2 cup flour. Beat at high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough additional flour to make a very stiff batter.
  3. Turn into a greased and floured 1-1/2-quart casserole. Cover; let rise in warm, draft free place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  4. Bake at 375ºF 30 to 35 minutes or until done. Remove from casserole dish and cool on wire rack.
