A couple of weeks ago I posted a blog regarding my medieval garlic bread. I was so happy that my first attempt at baking bread turned out so well that I decided to mix it up a bit and make salted caramel apple bread. I used the same recipe only tweaked it a little. I put the flour, water and honey in a bowl and added pieces of apple, Werthers' soft caramel chews and sprinkled pink Himalayan salt in the mix thinking this would be magic. I put the dough on the counter and began to knead. Twas not a pretty sight. Apple and caramel pieces kept falling out of the dough. To keep it together I had to use an extra cup of white flour. After an hour of rising it was time to put it in the oven. I said a prayer over the dough in the pan before the baking. My prayers were not answered. Out of the oven came a slightly burned loaf that barely tasted like salted caramel apple bread. Instead it tasted like dry bread with flavorless fruit. Oh the disappointment as I took the bread and threw it in the trash.
Lesson-if you are new to baking bread don't get too fancy on your second try.
