BREAD MACHINE FRUIT LOAF

Bread Machine Fruit Loaf image

This came from my bread machine recipe book. I have made it a number of times and it comes out lovely. Fantastic as a breakfast toasted and buttered! Yum! I have altered the recipe slightly so that it is compatible with all of you. An Australian tablespoon = 4 tsp (20ml), so I have converted all measurements to teaspoons to avoid confusion. If you have a sweet bread cycle I'd recommend using that, but otherwise I'm pretty sure ordinary would work fine. I have frozen slices in plastic bags, so I always have some on hand if I get a craving. Nutella makes a good spread for this.

6 teaspoons brown sugar
450 g white bread flour (3 cups)

Steps:

Put all of the ingredients except the fruit in the order recommended by your manufacturer.
If you have a nuts dispenser place the fruit in there.
Otherwise add the fruit when the 2nd knead has 8 minutes to go.
If using the glaze, combine glaze ingredients in a small saucepan over a heat until the sugar and gelatine has dissolved.
Use the pause function if you have one, at fifteen minutes into the baking cycle, brush glaze over loaf.

RICH RAISIN AND CRANBERRY LOAF (BREAD MACHINE)

Rich Raisin and Cranberry Loaf (bread machine) image

This is an all-time favorite bread recipe and I cannot (darn it!) take credit for it. It comes straight from my bread machine recipe book and is just too special not to share. The only change I made was to replace half of the raisins w/ dried cranberries (LOVE the balance between sweet and tart) and add cinnamon . As the title...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2/3 c milk, room temperature
1/2 c unsalted butter, room temperature and cut into 1 inch pieces
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp salt
1/4 c granulated sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon ( i use vietnamese)
3 & 3/4 c bread flour
2 tsp active dry yeast, instant, or bead machine yeast
1/2 c dried cranberries
1/2 c dark raisins

Steps:

1. OPTIONAL: I like to soak raisins/cranberries in hot water until soft. This will make them plumper and softer and keep fruit on outside of loaf from burning. If you prefer not to do this, mix dried fruit w/ pinch of flour and toss. This will keep fruit from sticking together.
2. Place ingredients, in order listed, in bread pan. Select loaf size (2 LB) and crust preference. I use a light setting for a tender loaf. Choose sweet bread program and start bread maker.
3. Add fruit when mix-in tone sounds or when appropriate for your maker. When cycle is complete, remove bread from pan to wire rack to cool completely prior to slicing. Take a whiff of that heavenly yeasty cinnamon fragrance and ENJOY!
