Now that it is rhubarb season here, I thought I would share with you
a recipe I made-up, and which my family and friends enjoy.
This bread bakers* site has been for many years a continuous source
of information on the pleasures of baking. Thank you.

Rhubarb Bread
This recipe is for a bread machine.
Note: T is tablespoon; and t is teaspoon.
Cook down 2 cups of rhubarb with some water till mushy (about 5
minutes). Let cool to a warm temperature. You will need to make 1
1/3 Cups of this.
1 1/3 C rhubarb mush
1 T orange juice
1 1/4 t salt
2 T Canola oil
2 T brown sugar
1 T honey
grated orange peel (I just grate the whole orange)
3/4 t cinnamon
I mix all these together while the cooked rhubarb is cooling.
When the mixture is at a warm temperature, I put it and then the
following into the Bread machine.
1/4 C gluten
1/2 C quick oats
1 1/2 T sunflower seed
1 1/2 C whole wheat flour
1 1/2 C unbleached white flour
1 1/4 t yeast
Check the first kneading cycle for moisture content of dough and
adjust accordingly.
