Apple, Raisin And Walnut Bread

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup rye flour
• 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 3-1/2 to 4 cups bread flour
• 1-1/2 cups unsweetened apple juice
• 3/4 cup (6 ounces) plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 2 cups dried apples, chopped
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten, optional

1. In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, rye flour, yeast, salt and 2 cups bread flour. In a small saucepan, heat apple juice, yogurt and butter to 120u0b0-130u0b0.

2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead in dried apples, raisins and walnuts until dough is smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into round loaves. Place on greased
4. . Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Using a sharp knife, make 3 shallow slashes on top of each loaf. If desired, brush loaves with egg. Bake until golden brown, 35-40 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
