Applesauce Bran Bread
Mix 1/2 cup flour, cereal, sugar, salt, baking soda and undissolved yeast in a large mixing bowl. Combine applesauce, milk, water and butter; heat to very warm (120°F to 130°F). Butter does not need to melt. Add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg and 1/2 cup flour. Beat at high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough additional flour to make a very stiff batter.
