Sun Oven Cooking

Last week I did a preparedness workshop and cooked food in my Sun Oven. I baked coconut bread, apple bread, banana bread and a pot roast dinner. Every thing turned out very moist and very delicious.

Coconut Bread

4 eggs

2 c. sugar

1 c. oil

2 t. coconut extract

Cream together and add the following, alternating with 1 c. buttermilk:

3 c. flour

1/2 t. soda

1/2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

Add 1 c. angel flake coconut. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans Bake at 350 for 45-55 minutes. The Sun Oven took 60-65 minutes.

Apple Pie Bread

• Apple Pie Filling:

• 2 apples diced small

• 1/4 c. brown sugar

• 1/4 c. white Sugar

• 1 t. cinnamon

• 1/2 to 1 t. nutmeg

• 1 T. cornstarch
• 2 T. melted butter
• 
  

• Bread:

• 1 c. room temperature butter

• 1/4 c. sugar

• 1/4 c. brown sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 T. vanilla

• 2 c. flour

• 1 t. baking soda

• 1 t. cinnamon

• 1/2 t. salt
• 
  

For Filling : Combine all ingredients except, butter and cornstarch, in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil then add butter and cornstarch, which have been combined, and stir until thick. Let cool.

Bread:

Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Scrape bowl at least twice. Add eggs one at a time and vanilla. Next add pie filling. Sift together all dry ingredients. Add to wet mixture and only mix until incorporated. Do not over-mix or bread will be tough. Spray a loaf pan very well.

Bake at 325 for 45-55 minutes. Try not to open the oven.

The apple pie filling makes a great pie also.

Eggnog Bread

This is a delicious bread recipe from Lacey Berry. My son, Cory, made several loaves of it.

Eggnog Bread

* 2 Eggs slightly beaten

* 1 C Sugar

* 1 C. Eggnog

* 1/2 C. Unsalted Butter

* 2 t. Mexican Vanilla

* 2 C. All-Pupose flour

* 1 pkg Instant Vanilla pudding

* 2 t. Baking Powder

* ½ t. Salt

* 1/2 t. nutmeg

In a bowl mix Flour, Pudding, Baking Powder, Salt and whole Nutmeg together.

Have the butter and eggs at room temperature.

In another large bowl cream room temperature Sugar and Butter together. Add Eggs one at a time. Add Eggnog, and Vanilla. Once well
mixed add slowly, dry mixture just till the dough comes together.

Grease and flour, or spray with cooking spray, 2 medium loaf pans.
Bake at 325 50-60 min.
Let cool for 10 min in pan then remove and let it cool down completely on a cooling
rack. Wrap tight and store in the refrigerator.

This bread is great to give away. You can also glaze it.

For the Glaze just add some eggnog to powder sugar till you get the consistency you like.

You can add orange zest or cranberries to this as well.
