1/2 cup Smooth natural peanut butter
1/4 cup Honey
1/2 cup Unsweetened applesauce
2 tbsp Cinnamon
2 tbsp Water

Combine the water, honey, and yeast in a large bowl. Let sit for 5
minutes until foamy. Add the flour 1 cup at a time, beating well
after each addition. When the dough becomes to stiff to mix, turn it
out onto a floured board and knead for 5 to 10 minutes until smooth
and elastic. Put it in a very lightly oiled bowl, cover, and allow to
rise for 1 hour.
While the dough is rising, combine the peanut butter and honey in a
saucepan and mix over low heat until easily blended (or warm in
microwave until easily blended). Beat in all the remaining
ingredients except the raisins.
Remove the risen dough from the bowl and knead about ten times on a
clean board. Roll out into a large rectangle about 15" X 14". Spread
with filling to 1/2" of the edge. sprinkle raisins evenly over the
filling. Roll the rectangle into a log, starting at the 15-in side,
pinch the edges to seal, and slice into 1" thick rounds.
rise for about 20 minutes, or until light. Bake in a preheated 350 F
oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown on top.

The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old records were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals were split into starters, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also informs us how the chefs of Roman times used many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example basil, mint and dill. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to a surge in cookery books, many of which are kept safe in private collections. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books are highly popular as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
