I think bread like Cornmeal Honey Bread in the link suits what you need. No fancy fruit or vegetable in it.





Ingredients. (2 round loaves)


* 1 package (1 T) active dry yeast


* 3/4 cup warm water


* 1 1/2 cups warm buttermilk


* 2 T unsalted butter, melted


* 1/3 cup honey


* 1 T salt


* 1 cup yellow cornmeal, fine or medium grind


* 4 1/2 to 5 cups unbleached all鈭抪urpose or bread flour





How to Cook.


1. Combine yeast and water in a small bowl and stir to dissolve.


2. Let stand until bubbly, about 10 minutes.


3. In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, butter, honey, and salt.


4. Add cornmeal. Beat with a whisk until smooth, about 3 minutes, and add yeast mixture.


5. Add 1/2 cup flour at a time with a wooden spoon until dough is stiff.


6. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and springy, about 5 minutes, adding flour 1 T at a time as necessary.


7. Place in a greased bowl, turn once to grease surface, and cover with plastic wrap.


8. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/4 hours.


9. Gently deflate dough, turn out onto a lightly floured board, and divide into two loaves.


10. Form into rounds and place on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet.


11. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.


12. Bake in a preheated 375 oven for 40 minutes or until browned.


13. Place on a rack and cool before slicing.I would like some good and pretty healthy bread recipes?
