Lembas Bread

A few months ago, I had a friend over and we watched all the Lord of the Rings movies. I made this Lembas bread and thought that I should share this recipe with all the Instructimites (anyone think this is a good name for the Instructables community? ) on this website. I found this recipe from the Wasted Lands website: http://wastedlandsfantasy.blogspot.com/2010/12/lembas-elvish-waybread-real-world.html?m=1
I made a few changes to the recipe that I like better. I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups white flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

8 Tablespoons cold butter

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 Tablespoons cinnamon

1 Tablespoon vanilla

1/3 cup honey

3/4 cup milk

2 fresh, peeled, finely-chopped apple

1/4 cup crushed almonds (you can choose any nut you want, but I like almonds)

Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. If you have an electric mixer, use it because it will speed everything up.

Combine the Butter

Put the butter in the same bowl with the flour, baking powder, and salt. Now would be a good time to use an electric mixer to combine the butter with the other ingredients. Mix the ingredients until you get a crumbly mixture.

Add Sugar, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Honey, Apple, and Nuts.

Combine the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, honey, apple, and nuts. Mix the ingredients until everything is even.

Add the Milk

Add the milk. Mix the ingredients until dough starts to form.

Scoop the Dough

Sprinkle flour onto a counter to prevent the dough from sticking to everything and making a mess. Next, cover a pan with aluminum foil. After you sprinkle the flour and cover the pan, scoop the dough onto the counter and roll it into a large square about a 1/2 inch thick. Once it is a square (or rectangle), use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 2-3 inch slices. If your dough is still sticky, use a spatula to transfer the slice from the counter to the pan. Make sure you leave some space between the slices to prevent them from sticking to each other.

Baking

Preheat your oven to 425°. Once your preheat is done, put the bread onto the top rack (or center, depending on your oven) of your oven and let it bake for 10-12 minutes.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this is a fun recipe to make if you like Lord of the Rings. It makes a good snack while watching the movies and doesn't take long to make. I hope you enjoyed!
