Fruit Loaf for the Breadmaker

Post by nossys »

This is such a great quick loaf which tastes like hotcross buns. We love it toasted with butter.

225ml warm water
2oz soft butter
7g dried yeast packet
14 oz white bread flour
1 tsp salt
3 oz caster sugar
4oz sultanas
11/2 tsp cinnamon (thats 1 and a half)

Put in your breadmaker mine is the no 1 setting which I use for a normal loaf. And Enjoy )eat(

I made this today, here's what I did and it turned out just great!

225ml warm water
60g Stork (melted)
400g strong white bread flour
1.5 tsp ground cinnamon or ground mixed spice
100g caster sugar
1 tsp salt
7g (1 sachet) fast action yeast
115g sultanas or mixed fruit

Add all ingredients to the bread maker in the order as above but don't add the fruit. Set the breadmaker to basic (1), 750g (2, medium) and crust colour as desired. Wait 15-20 minutes 'til the machine bleeps several times then add the fruit.

Sounds good.

It is a bit like the Christmas bread I make - see my threads in this section but simpler and quicker.

We don't have a bread maker but I am pretty sure that I could make this manually and bake in a 2lb loaf tin. I'll give it a try next weekend and let you know how it turns out. )like(

Ingredients look like they would be for a small loaf.
If you've lost the manual for your machine, so long as you know make and probably model number you could probably find the manual with a Google search :)

400g flour is what I normally use for a loaf so I'm thinking that might be about right. My bread machine is on about 3 times a week so let's see if I can use it more. I also make something that tastes like cinnamon and raisin bagels but I seem to have misplaced the recipe.

Made this bread by hand today. As I suspected, it makes enough dough to fill a 2 lb loaf tin.

I baked in with an ordinary white loaf I was making, and as usual, I started with the oven as hot as it would go. The result was it caught on the top but was only just baked in the centre. If I was doing it again I might bake it separately; at a slightly lower temperature but for longer.

Nevertheless, tastes really nice.

That's the advantage of a gas oven. you can put things on different shelves.
I don't think I could get used to an electric now. When I tried cooking scones at my mother-in-laws I found that turning the oven off when they were nearly done, which would have finished them nicely in my oven overcooked them in her electric.
