Title: Spiced Pear, Date, Nut, Oat and Whole Wheat Bread By Gloriam
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

1 1/2 c Pears; whirled to death into
-mush in the Cuisinart, (ok
-ok, I pureed 4 pears)
1 tb Oil; (what I had was cold
-expelled extra virgin olive
-oil)
1 tb Honey
4 c Whole wheat flour
1/2 c Oats
2 ts Vital wheat gluten
3 ts Yeast
1 ts Lemon zest
2 ts Cinnamon
2 ts Nutmeg
1/2 c Chopped dates
2 oz Bag chopped walnuts

My dates were whole with the pit in them, so i chopped them in the
Cuisinart. ( And, yes, I did take out the pits first!!) What i did was to
sprinkle them with the cinnamon and nutmeg so they woldn't all stick
together on the blade. I figured they were dusted enough and I put them on
the very top of the flour. I am just not one to wait for the beep. So in
about 4:10 hours, i should know if this worked or not. I am aiming for a 2
lb loaf since my machine can handle that size. This was predicated on the
need to either use the pears or watch 'em rot before I got them all eaten.
hence making a virtue of a necessity.
