Ok! I wasn’t going to post this as I made this to make a bread pudding for my mom, buuut oh it’s so good. Heh!
in a mixing bowl combine
1 c warm water
2+1/4 tsp yeast
1/3 c plum butter
Let the yeast soften for ten minutes.
8 Tbls. Melted butter (1 stick)
1/2 c milk
4 c. flour (ok! I didn’t measure this out, but it was closer to 5 cups as I knew I’d need a bit more for the extra liquids)
about a teaspoon of salt
Knead, cover, and rise for an hour and a half. Form however you want it, then bake accordingly.
(The dough was closer to the consistency of no-knead dough, and so I didn’t bother with oiling the bowl when letting it rise).
13" pullman, 35 minutes @ 375°
Rolls, 28-32 minutes @ 375°
(For some odd reason I’ve been baking at higher temps, and I just can’t come down, )
Plum Butter
Peel several plums and add about 1+1/2 teaspoons water per plum to a pan. Boil covered til the plums fall apart. Take the lid off and lower the heat and cook til thickened stirring frequently.
Optional: Add a teaspoon of sugar for every two plums to make it a little sweeter.
I was pleasently surprised as to how well the yeast soften with the plum butter. Though, it does look a little off as it’s softening, heh.
I’ll definitely have to make this again. Oof! It’s that good, heh.
