Hello everybody, it’s me, Dave, welcome to my recipe site. Today, we’re going to make a special dish, apple bread. It is one of my favorites food recipes. This time, I am going to make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.

Apple Bread is one of the most favored of current trending foods on earth. It’s appreciated by millions every day. It’s simple, it is fast, it tastes yummy. They are fine and they look wonderful. Apple Bread is something that I have loved my entire life.

In another bowl, whisk together eggs, oil and vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened (batter will be thick). DIRECTIONS Mix flour, cinnamon, soda, salt and baking powder together. Beat eggs and add sugar and oil. Both brown sugar and honey are incorporated into the batter, lending a mellow sweetness that compliments the hearty texture of the bread itself.

To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have apple bread using 21 ingredients and 30 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

There are approximately three medium apples in one pound (or two large apples in one pound). With this apple bread recipe, if you have a little less or a little more shredded apple, you should be okay. There's no better way to highlight this duo than with a loaf of quick bread. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Steps to make Apple Bread:

1. Prepare the bread dough up to the first proofing (until doubled in size).
2. Add the butter after the dough has formed a good stretchy gluten film (when you can see your fingers through the stretched dough).
3. If using a bread machine, start kneading all of the ingredients except the butter. Add the butter 10 minutes after it starts kneading.
4. Combine the apple (slice into thin wedges), sugar and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl and microwave it uncovered for about 4-5 minutes or until tender.
5. Reserve the juice from the apple and set it aside to cool.
6. Soak the raisins in lukewarm water to rehydrate.
7. After the first proofing is done, punch the dough to let the trapped air out, roll it into a ball and let it rest for 20 minutes.
8. Drain the juice from the apple, and drain the excess water from the raisins.
9. Press the dough gently with your palm to remove the trapped air. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 30 x 20 cm rectangle.
10. Sprinkle the apple and raisins evenly on the dough, leaving the edge to seal. Roll it up just like you would roll up a sushi.
11. Seal the end tightly.
12. Place the dough with the seam side down. With a knife, slice the dough into 7 equal pieces.
13. Place them into a cake pan cut side facing up, and press on them gently. (Put one piece in the middle and surround it with 6 other pieces.)
14. It will look best if you place the smallest piece in the center.
15. Let the dough rise again. Let it rise until the dough fills up to 80% of the cake pan height. (The rising temperature should be 40℃ in the oven on the dough-rising setting or at room temperature in the summer time.)
16. Brush with egg wash and bake it for 25-30 minutes in an oven preheated to 180℃. Rotate the pan after 15 minutes of baking to avoid uneven baking.
17. If it looks like it is scorching on top, cover it with aluminum foil. (The oven temperature will fall from opening the door, so do this quickly, taking care not to burn yourself.)
18. Once it is done baking, drop the pan onto the table to "shock" the cake to prevent shrinkage.
19. I usually place a mug under the cake pan to push the bread out of the pan, and slide it onto a cake rack.
20. Let it cool on a rack.
21. [Icing] Add a small amount of water to the powered sugar, and mix it well to make the icing (it should be slightly stiff).
22. I don't own a pastry tip, so I put it in a plastic bag and cut the corner to make a small hole and use it as a piping bag.
23. Topping 1: Drizzle the icing onto the bread and it is done.
24. Topping 2: Dissolve the apricot jam in warm water and spread on the bread.
25. These were made in muffin molds (with the apricot jam topping).
26. These were baked in aluminum cups without any mold.
27. These were baked in muffin molds, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
28. This one was baked in a ring-shaped pan, but it cooked through too strongly. It is moister baked in a round cake pan.
29. When you are warming the bread the next day, break off one section, wrap it with plastic wrap and microwave it at 500 W for 20 seconds. It will be come out as though freshly baked.
30. The water temperature should be 30℃ in the spring and fall, 10℃ in the summer, and 45℃ in the winter. I use the microwave to warm the water.

There's no better way to highlight this duo than with a loaf of quick bread. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Bursting with chunks of apple and lots of sweet spices in every bite! Using apple sauce makes this bread tender and loaded with apple flavor.

How to Boost Your Mood with Food

Most of us have been trained to believe that comfort foods are not good and are to be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this can be true. Other times, comfort foods can be utterly healthy and good for us to consume. There are a number of foods that basically can boost your moods when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and are in need of an emotional pick-me-up, try a few of these.

Eggs, you may be surprised to learn, are wonderful at combating depression. Just see to it that you don’t get rid of the egg yolk. The yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolks in particular, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to raise your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–work better. Eat an egg and be happy!

Put together a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that tells the brain how to feel at any given time. The higher your levels of serotonin, the happier you are going to feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a great protein food source.

Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you wish to combat depression. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all full of omega-3 fats and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly boost your mood.

Some grains are really wonderful for repelling bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really wonderful for helping increase your happiness levels. These grains fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods also. Feeling hungry can really make you feel terrible! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.

Your mood could actually be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies show that this specific amino acid can actually induce brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you become better. Now you are aware that green tea helps you to elevate your moods too!

You can see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are not good for you so you can feel better! Try a few of these tips instead.
