Golden Granola Bread, Bread Machine Style

Makes one big ol' loaf.

1½ tsp active dry yeast
3 cups flour: either white, or up to half white & half wheat.
¾ cup granola: the richer the better
¼ cup cashews, chopped lightly
¼ cup dried bananas, chopped lightly
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 cup water, cool to tepid. NOT warm. Filtered is better.
tsp salt
2 TBSP oil
1 egg

Set the bread machine on normal and fire it off. Serve it sliced thick and hot out of the bread machine (or oven) and enjoy it with butter!

Review: This came out nice and golden, very well raised. It's not too light, not too heavy for homemade bread, but it is quite sweet. My wife - the local expert on sweet - says it's a good breakfast bread. Next time, I think I'll increase the dried bananas, and maybe the chopped cashews as well.
