Maple Syrup Bread Recipes

MAPLE WHITE BREAD

Steps:

• Place milk, maple syrup, butter and salt in a saucepan and scald. Allow to cool to lukewarm.
• Dissolve yeast in warm water along with the sugar. Set aside for five minutes until the mixture becomes frothy. Transfer the milk mixture to a large bowl, stir in the yeast mixture and then stir in the egg.
• Stir in two cups of the flour. Then add more flour about one-half cup at a time until a ball of dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead for about eight minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic, adding more flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking. Place dough in an oiled bowl, turn the dough to oil on all sides, cover lightly and set aside to rise until doubled, about an hour.
• Punch down dough, turn onto a lightly floured board and knead for another minute or so. Roll dough into a rectangle about nine by 12 inches, then roll tightly, jellyroll fashion, starting from the narrow side. Pinch the seam and ends closed. Fit the dough seam side down into a greased 9-by-5-by-3-inch baking pan.
• Cover and set in a warm place to rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread in the oven and bake about 45 minutes, until well browned. Remove from pan and allow to cool freely on a rack before slicing.

PURE MAPLE BREAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Grease and flour a loaf baking pan.
• Over medium-low heat, heat milk and butter in a small saucepan but do not let it boil. Once the butter is completely melted, stir in the pure maple syrup.
• Take the hot mixture off of the heat.
• Preheat oven to 325 F.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt with a wire whisk. Thoroughly mix dry ingredients well.
• In a large bowl, pour in some milk. Quickly stir in the eggs. Add the remaining milk mixture and stir it until it is completely combined.
• Add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, then mix until well combined. Stir nuts into that mixture.
• Place the batter into prepared pan and bake it for one hour.
• Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Serve bread alone or with butter.
• Enjoy.

MAPLE SYRUP BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven (350F).
• Mix all dry ingredients.
• In another bowl, mix all moist ingredients.
• Blend the two mix until you don't see any more dry ingredients (don't overblend it or the bread will come hard!).
• Put into a greased bread pan, and then into the oven for 50-60 minutes.
• Let cool 15 minutes before removing the bread from its mold. Enjoy!

MAPLE MILK BREAD

Steps:

• Make the tangzhong: In a medium pot, whisk together the bread flour and milk until relatively smooth. Set over medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens into a texture not unlike mashed potatoes or grits, 2 to 3 minutes. You may see lumps at first, but as you continue to whisk and the flour cooks, your mixture will smooth out.
• Make the bread: Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the cream until smooth, which will cool down the mixture and add some necessary fat. To the creamy mixture, add 4 cups/576 grams bread flour, the maple syrup, egg, salt and yeast, and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until you can no longer see any streaks of egg or flour. Cover the pot with a lid and let sit in a warm place to proof and hydrate until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
• To knead by hand, keep ½ cup/72 grams bread flour next to you. Dust a clean work surface with some of the flour and turn the dough out onto the surface. Dust some more flour on top of the dough and on your hands, and knead the dough into a ball using both hands. As you start to feel the dough get sticky, add more of the flour. The goal here is to not use more than that ½ cup of flour to knead the dough and, at the same time, to develop enough gluten in it so that it's no longer sticky, 5 to 7 minutes. Alternatively, knead with a stand mixer: Transfer the dough from the pot to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Knead on medium-low speed for 15 minutes; it will become pretty sticky and cling to the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Dust some more flour on top of the dough and on your hands, and form the dough into a ball using both hands, adding more flour as needed.
• Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Cut the dough in half with a knife, then flatten each piece using your hands, pulling the corners of each piece up and over the center, all around, so that you're creating two tight balls. Twist the pulled-up edges to seal and turn the balls over so their smooth sides are facing up. Nestle the two balls side by side in the pan and let sit, covered with a clean kitchen towel, in a warm place in your kitchen until the dough balls have risen an inch above the rim of the pan, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the bread until the crust is dark brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 185 to 190 degrees, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before taking out the bread and slicing into it. (Technically it should cool completely, but come on: There's nothing like the glorious experience of tearing into a fresh, warm loaf of sweet milk bread.) The bread will keep for up to 3 to 4 days in a closed container at room temperature.

MAPLE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and maple syrup. Beat in the egg and bananas, leaving a few small chunks. Stir in the maple extract and milk. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and baking powder, and stir into the banana mixture just until moistened. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan. Mix the nuts and sugar, and sprinkle evenly over the batter.
• Bake 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

MAPLE SYRUP SPICE BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients into your Bread Machine, according to the manufacturer's directions.
• You may add the raisins after the beep if your machine allows it, to keep them from being torn up by the dough paddle.

MAPLE SYRUP CORN BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, syrup and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , Pour into a 9-in. square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
