Check your bread machine's use-and-care book to find out how long the last cycle runs.SUCCESS TIPSugar helps to brown the crust of baked foods. Because dried apricots have a high amount of sugar, we recommend using a medium or light crust setting so the crust doesn't become too dark during baking.From "Betty Crocker's Best Bread Machine Cookbook, The Goodness of Homemade Bread the Easy Way."
