The Best Raisin Bread for Bread Maker / Machine image

I have tried no less than 5 different recipes and several variations of Raisin Bread recipes before finding what I think is the best tasting recipe. It is a culmination of trail and error using various recipes found on the internet and in Bread Machine Cookbooks. This recipe makes approximately a 1.5lb (750gm) loaf.

Categories     Breads

Time 2h40m

Yield 1 1.5lb loaf, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

270 ml lukewarm water
1 tablespoon butter
3 cups plain white flour (I haven't tried bread flour)
1 tablespoon powdered milk
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon or 1 tablespoon allspice
2 teaspoons dry yeast
1 cup raisins (I dust them in a little plain flour to coat them and prevent them sinking to the bottom of the loaf)

Steps:

  • Firstly, mix the flour, milk powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon together thoroughly in a mixing bowl making sure there are no lumps.
  • Now add the luke warm water and butter into the bread machine. (I divide the butter into four pieces and put one in each corner of the pan for easier mixing).
  • Then add the dry mixed ingredients into the pan. Make a small well in the centre of the dry mixture and add the yeast.
  • Set the Bread Maker / Machine to 'Sweet Bread' setting and wait for it to 'BEEP' (approx 15 minutes) before adding the raisins.
  • Wait until cooked and enjoy fresh or toasted with butter -- YUM !
  • ** If the mixture is too dry while mixing you can add a tablespoon of water. Alternatively if its too moist, a tablespoon of flour should sort it out nicely. **.

What is Apricot Raisin Bread Bread Machine Recipe?

Apricot raisin bread is a sweet bread that is made with apricots, raisins, and a combination of whole wheat and white flour. It is a delicious bread that is perfect for breakfast, tea time or snack time. Making apricot raisin bread using a bread machine is not only easy but also saves time. The bread machine kneads the dough and allows it to rise before baking it to perfection.

Ingredients Used in Apricot Raisin Bread Bread Machine Recipe

1. Flour:
A combination of whole wheat and white flour is used to make apricot raisin bread fluffy and soft. Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrition while white flour helps the bread rise.
2. Yeast:
Active dry yeast or instant yeast is used to make the bread rise. Yeast feeds on the sugar in the dough and produces carbon dioxide that makes the dough rise.
3. Sugar:
Sugar is used to sweeten the bread and also feeds the yeast. Brown sugar, cinnamon sugar, or honey can also be used instead of white sugar.
4. Salt:
Salt is added to enhance the flavor of the bread and to help control the fermentation process.
5. Milk:
Milk adds richness and flavor to the bread, making it more moist and tender.
6. Butter:
Butter adds richness and flavor to the bread, and also helps the bread stay fresh for longer.
7. Apricots:
Dried apricots are used in this recipe. They add a sweet and tangy flavor to the bread.
8. Raisins:
Raisins are also used in this recipe. They add a sweet flavor and a chewy texture to the bread.

How to Make Apricot Raisin Bread in a Bread Machine

Making apricot raisin bread using a bread machine is easy and takes only a few minutes of preparation time. Here is a step by step guide to making apricot raisin bread using a bread machine:
Step 1:
Add the ingredients in the order recommended by the manufacturer of your bread machine. Generally, liquids are added first, followed by dry ingredients, and then yeast.

Step 4:
Shape the dough into a loaf and transfer it to a greased loaf pan or a bread machine pan. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 30-45 minutes.
Step 5:
Now, preheat your oven to 350°F(180°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes or until it turns golden brown.

Using a bread machine to make apricot raisin bread can be an easy and fun way to enjoy a delicious homemade bread with all the nutrients and benefits of raisins and apricots. With this recipe, you will enjoy a bread with a perfect balance of flavors, sweetness, and nutrition. However, to make the most out of your apricot raisin bread machine recipe, you should know a few valuable tips that can help you perfect your bread.

Tip 1: Prepare all the ingredients

One of the most important steps in making a successful apricot raisin bread is to prepare all the ingredients beforehand. This means measuring and gathering everything you will need before you start the bread machine. This includes the flour, sugar, salt, yeast, water, milk, butter, apricots, and raisins. Measuring the ingredients precisely will ensure that your bread turns out perfectly every time.

Tip 2: Use fresh ingredients

Another crucial tip for making an excellent apricot raisin bread machine recipe is to use fresh ingredients. Using fresh and high-quality ingredients will not only enhance the flavors of the bread but will also ensure that the bread turns out soft, fluffy, and moist. Using stale or expired ingredients can negatively affect the texture and taste of the bread.

Tip 3: Experiment with the proportions

While most apricot raisin bread recipes require specific ratios of ingredients, you can always experiment with the proportions to suit your personal preferences. For instance, if you prefer a sweeter bread, you can add more sugar. Similarly, if you enjoy a denser bread, you can use more flour. However, if you are new to bread-making, it's essential to follow the recipe until you become more confident in your skills.

Tip 4: Customize your bread machine settings

Most bread machines come with various settings that allow you to customize your bread according to your preferences. Some settings that you can adjust include the crust color, the size of the loaf, and the baking time. For instance, you can select a shorter baking time for a softer crust and a longer baking time for a crustier texture.

Tip 5: Add the raisins and apricots at the right time

Adding the raisins and apricots at the right time is essential for producing a well-textured bread. Adding them too early can cause them to sink to the bottom of the bread while adding them too late can result in clumps of raisins and apricots. The best time to add these ingredients is during the kneading cycle when the dough is still easy to work with.

Tip 6: Don't overmix the dough

Overmixing the dough can lead to a dense and chewy bread, which is not ideal for apricot raisin bread. It's essential to follow the instructions on your bread machine and stop the mixing process as soon as the dough comes together. Overmixing the dough also affects the texture of the raisins and apricots and can make them mushy.

Tip 7: Store the bread properly

After baking your apricot raisin bread, it's essential to store it correctly to keep it fresh for longer. If you don't plan to eat the bread soon after baking, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in a cool, dry place. You can also freeze the bread for extended storage.

Conclusion

Making apricot raisin bread using a bread machine is a straightforward and enjoyable process. By following the above tips, you can make a perfect loaf of bread every time. Remember to measure your ingredients precisely, experiment with the proportions, customize your bread machine settings, and add the raisins, and apricots at the right time. With a little practice, you can become an expert in making delicious apricot raisin bread.
