CINNABURST BREAD-GREAT HARVEST COPYCAT RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• In mixer combine yeast, sugar, and warm water and milk; let bubble for about 5 minutes. Add in oil and egg. Slowly add 2 cups flour, mix and then add salt. Add 1/2 cup flour at a time until it comes away from side of bowl. Add the cinnamon chips when it gets close to the right consistency. The dough will be very sticky but the softer the dough the lighter the bread. So use the least amount of flour you can handle. (Note: Don't overmix the cinnamon chips.) Grease a mixing bowl. Let dough rise in bowl until doubled in size. Form into loaf (or whatever shape you want). Let rise until double. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

SIMILAR TO GREAT HARVEST SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, baking soda, egg and vanilla.
• In a food processor, mix or pulse the flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Cut or process in the butter until mixture is coarse.
• Dump the flour mixture into the bowl with the sour cream/egg mixture and stir until moist. Stir in the chocolate chips (or other add-ins). If dough is too moist, add more flour. If it is too dry, add a little milk or cream.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly. Roll or pat dough into two 6 inch (approximately) rounds. Cut each into 6 wedges (8 wedges for smaller scones), and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with topping.
• Alternatively, pat dough into an inch thick slab and cut out 2 1/2 inch (or whatever size you want) rounds.
• Bake 18 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown and cooked through. Check at 18 minutes, but it may take longer.
• Let the scones cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This is important. They taste much better after they've cooled and set a bit -- less doughy.

GREAT HARVEST HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD COPYCAT

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add water, yeast, honey and salt. Let it rest for 5 minutes (or until the yeast foams).
• Add in flour 1 cup at a time, kneading it between each cup of flour added if you are making it by hand. If you are making it with a mixer (like a Bosch or Kitchen Aid), use a paddle attachment and just let it mix while you add the flour.
• Knead bread for about 5 minutes. If the dough is sticky, add only enough flour so that the dough barely pulls away from the bowl. Every time I make bread, the amount of flour I use varies - humidity and elevation will make a big difference too. I usually use between 10-11 cups.
• Preheat oven to 170 degrees; turn the oven off, and let dough rise inside the oven for 15 minutes.
• Carefully remove bowl from oven. Spray the back of your hand with cooking spray and punch down the dough. Form into a log and cut in half, forming two larger-sized loaves. Put into 2 greased loaf pans.
• Again, preheat oven (if it?s not warm anymore) to 170 degrees and let the dough in the pans rise in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the dough doubles in size.
• Remove dough from oven and set oven temperature to 350 degrees. Once oven is pre-heated, place the loaves back in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove from pans immediately and let cool completely on a cooling rack.
