This recipe comes from Good Housekeeping and it is fabulous on it's own. I may be wrong to even mess with it. Click Here to view the original.

It bugged me because it only made one loaf and who wants to make just one loaf of bread? I tried to keep it low fat by keeping the oil the same with the recipe doubled.

If you don't have applesauce handy you could use 1/2 cup oil or you could use 1/4 cup oil and 1 cup plain yogurt.
