Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, yeast, water and 1 tbsp of almond or olive almond oil. Mix with a dough whisk or wooden spoon to create a wet shaggy dough.

  • During any of the rest times, create your apple cinnamon topping. Peel and dice your apple, and toss with brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Place in a small saucepan and cook on med-low for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Uncover dough and do 4 stretch and folds. Take your fingers under the edge top edge of the dough (12 o'clock position) and pull the dough up and over towards the center/bottom of the dough. Turn the bowl a quarter turn and repeat, until you have done 4 folds.
  • Re-cover your dough and allow to rest for another 30 minutes.
  • Repeat the stretch and folds, and then allow the dough to rest for another 30 minutes.
  • Transfer your dough to either a 9 inch round or 9x9 square pan lined with parchment if not nonstick.
  • Cover dough and allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until the dough has filled out the bottom of your pan. Preheat your oven to 425°F.

  • Lightly spoon your apple topping over the dough, reserving about ½-1 tbsp of the liquid.
  • Place your pan on the center rack of your oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. Bread is done when top is golden to dark golden brown and fragrant.
  • When bread comes out of the oven, take remaining 1 tbsp melted butter and add ½-1 tbsp of the cinnamon sugar liquid from topping and mix together. Then drizzle over the hot bread.
