Variation on a Theme

A variation I tried this week with the Vegan Brown bread:

Add 2 T. Cinnamon to dry ingredients
Add 1/3 C raisins after sifting dry ingredients

Continue according to previous recipe.

A further variation:

Roll dough into balls and make Brown Vegan Rolls instead of bread.

Making the Raisin variation into rolls makes a very convenient breakfast food on a busy morning.

Basic Brown Bread (Vegan, no oil added)

Sift:
4 C. WW flour
4 t. yeast
2 T. Cocoa

Mix:
1/4 C. Molasses
1 C. Warm Water

Add:
Water mixture to sifted ingredients

Add up to 1 C. more warm water while kneading the dough.
Knead for about 20 min.

Divide in two and shape into loaves.
Place in loaf pans and place in the oven on 110* for 30 Min.
Turn oven up to 350* and bread will be done in 35 min.
