Assembly Instructions
Grease the chosen pan(s) and dust with rice flour.
The applesauce and water temperature will be different for hand mixing and for bread machines. For hand-mixing have the water and applesauce combined heated to about 110 degrees. You can use a meat thermometer for this. For the bread machine please follow instructions in the manual.
For both hand mixing and machine mixing, combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In another bowl (or the bowl of your heavy-duty mixer) whisk the egg and whites(s), dough enhancer, molasses and margarine. Add the heated applesauce and water, reserving 2-3 Tbs. This should be added as needed after the bread has started mixing, either in the bowl of your mixer or in the pan of the bread machine.
For hand mixing: With the mixer turned to low, add the dry ingredients (including the yeast) a little at a time. Check to be sure the dough is the right consistency (like cake batter). Add more of the reserved applesauce and water as necessary. Turn the mixer to high and beat for 3 ½ min. Spoon the dough into the prepared pan(s), cover and let rise for about 35 min for rapid-rising yeast, 60 or more minutes for regular yeast or until the dough reaches the top of the pan. Bake in a preheated oven 400 degrees for 50-60 minutes, covering after 10 minutes with aluminum foil to prevent the top from burning.
For bread machines: Place the ingredients in the bread machine in the order suggested in the machine manual. Use the setting for light crust
