-------------------------BEST BREAD MACHINE CB EVER------------------------- 1 1/2 lg Pears

3 tb Oil

1/2 tb Yeast

2 c Bread flour

1 1/8 c Rye flour

3 tb Wheat germ

3 tb Sugar

1/2 tb Salt

1/2 tb Fennel seeds

3 tb Hazelnuts, chopped

1/2 c Water; warm

Bring all ingredients to room temperature and pour into bakery, in order. Set "baking control" at 10 o'clock. Select "white bread" and push Start. In hot & humid weather, use 1/8 c less water. Ripe, actually overripe, pears make the sweetest, moistest bread. This subtly flavored loaf does fine on its own and makes excellent plain, cinnamon, or French toast. Or place a thin slice of cold cooked lamb on it and briefly warm in the broiler. Tested in DAK R2D2.
