 Categories: Yeastbreads
      Yield: 1 servings

MMMMM----------------------MM BY H PEAGRAM---------------------------
      1 pk Active dry yeast
  2 1/2 c  Warm water
      2 c  Sifted flour
      1 tb Sugar

   Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of the warm water in a deep glass or
  plastic container.  Stir in remaining warm water, flour and sugar.
  Beat until smooth.  Cover with loose fitting cover. DO NOT
  REFRIGERATE! The starter requires 10 days for fermentation as
follows:

   DAYS 1, 2, 3 and 4:... Stir batter DAY 5:................ Add 1 cup
  each milk, flour, sugar and stir DAYS 6, 7, and 8:..... Stir batter
  each day DAY 10: ............. Add 1 cup each flour, sugar, milk;
  stir.

   The batter is ready to use.

   This makes 3 cups batter to use in the recipes. If you want to you
  may pour 1 cup batter each into 3 containers and give 1 or 2 away.

   Save 1 cup to begin process all over again OR you can use all 3 cups
  batter for the recipes at 1 time and when you want to bake these
  again just start the starter again.

Grease six mini-loaf pans and sust with granulated sugar

with a wire whisk, blend the eggs, oil, and applesauce in a small bowl.
In a separate, larger bowl, use a wire whisk to mix flour, cocoa, baking
powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Remove the wire whisks from the
preparation area, because you'll be using only a woden spoon from here on
in. Add the wet ingredients, stirring to mix well. Add the starter and
vanilla and mix until well blended, then stir in the chocolate chips.
Divide the batter
equally between the mini-loaf pans. they'll be a little over halfway full.
Sprinkle the almonds or coconut atop each loaf. Place the pans on a cookie
sheet, which acts as a tray, and place it on the middle rack of a preheated
350F oven.
Bake for 30 minutes. Feel the top of each loaf; if they are still soft
bake additional 5 minutes, or until the tops of the loaves spring back when
gently pressed. Remove the cookie sheet with the pans on it from the oven, and
place on a wire rack to cool. Cool the loaves completely in the pans.
