Apple and sultana bread

Today was supposed to be sock monkey making day but that didn't happen. Too many other more important things to do before the working week gets going again.

So what did I do? 
I made more bread. 
I also mowed the lawn, cleaned the whole house, filled some pot holes in my driveway after all the rain we've been having, made dinner for my boyfriend and had a go at making chocolate brownies.


Again I made a white loaf and this time I made a sultana and fresh apple loaf.


I really like how it looks


I used 1.5 cups of white flour and half a cup of wholemeal flour and added a handful of sultanas, grated half a fresh apple and added some cinnamon and mixed spice at the dry flour stage. Wasn't sure if it would work with the moist apple in it.



But it turned out really well. It's a bit heavier than my white loaf and has a sweet, moist taste. 


I really like it.



These are the brownies I tried to make. Not exactly moist.
It was supposed to be gluten free and free of a lots of things except egg, which is the one thing I shouldn't have!! So I substituted with extra milk. Normally this works but I also guesstimated most of the quantities because my scale is on the blink and the recipe was all in grams!! What ever happened to a cup of this and a teaspoon of that!!


I'll have to try it again with the correct quantities. I'll give the recipe when I get it right!!
It still taste good but I am chocolate deprived at the moment!!
