Mike was looking for recipes with Maple Syrup. My general advice is be
creativetake one of those recipes with honey and substitute maple syrup.
Or try using it as the sweetener in cinnamon rolls (cut back a bit on the
water). (Just remember if you use a substantial amount of syrup to make a
sweet bread, bake it at a lower temperature (like 350) so that it won't
burn.) I like the taste also, and following is a recipe that I have enjoyed.
The ingredients are for a bread machine, but I have only made it manually.
It tastes great!
Maple Oatmeal Bread
1 package yeast
1 cup quick cooking oats
3 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1-1/4 cups plus 1 Tablespoon warm water.
Manual: Dissolve the yeast in the water. Let sit until foamy. Warm the syrup
just a little bit--to 90 degrees or so. Mix together yeast and all other
ingredients (hold back 1 cup of flour). Mix well, then knead in enough
flour to make a nice, elastic dough. Rise til doubled, punch down, shape
into a loaf, proof and bake.
Very nice flavor hereenjoy it.
