This bread has no added sugar, white flour, and the only oil is that which is used to grease the pan. The apples help add a little sweetness.

Ingredients:
1.5 cups warm water
1 packet yeast
3 Tablespoons flax seed (Recommended but not required)
1/4 tsp salt
2 apples coarsely chopped
3 tsp cinnamon
Somewhere between 3-7 cups flour-getting the texture right is more important than trying to measure an exact amount.
Enough Earth Balance or oil to grease the pan.

1. Combine the water and yeast. Stir and then allow to sit for a few minutes.
2. Add the flax seed, salt, apples and cinnamon and stir.
3. Add flour one cup at a time and possibly slower at the end until the flour can form a ball that you can almost pick up.
4. Allow to rise for about one hour. Half way through preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
5. Give the dough a quick knead. That being said, despite many people saying kneading is an absolute must, I have a times skipped this step and things turned out okay.
6. Place in an earth balanced or oiled pan. I prefer a fitted round baking pan to help give the bread shape. Bake bread for about 50 minutes. Check at 30 and 40 minutes.
