  • 1/2 cup granola
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt

Instructions

  • In stand mixer bowl, add 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast, granola, sugar and salt; mix well.

  • Prepare topping: Combining all ingredients; mix well.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Stir down batter; spread evenly into greased 13×9- inch baking pan. Sprinkle with topping; with back of teaspoon, press into batter to make random indentations. Cover; let rise in warm place until light, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm or cold.
