AboutElyse Grau Expertise I can answer any questions about baking. The only thing I'm not too good at is baking pies, nor do I know much about high altitude baking.
Experience I have been baking for over 30 years. One of my hobbies is creating recipes, most of those for baked goods. I made my own wedding cake. Currently I prefer to bake healthier things. I use a lot of whole wheat and other whole grain flours, and prefer to use less sugar or sugar substitutes in my baking. I do a lot with fruit.
Question My Seed Bread recipe could be better if raisins or dried cranberries were added. Would 1/2 c. to 2/3 c. be a good add? What does an egg do to a bread recipe? I believe something should be added to keep bread from becoming too dry.
Answer Joyce:
I think 1/2 c would be a good start. An egg will make the dough a little richer, but also heavier. If your recipe includes sugar, substituting honey will keep the bread moister. Also adding powdered milk, or using milk instead of water for the liquid will make it more moist.
