A Fruit Bread or Fruit Bun is a sweet bread, roll or cake made with flour, fruit and fruit peels, spices, nuts, seeds and sometimes alcohol too. This Fruit Bread recipe is a vegan, egg-free and non-alcoholic version made with whole wheat flour in a larger proportion along with candied orange peels, tutti frutti and glazed cherries. Together with fruit bread loaf I also cover making Fruit Bun in the notes section of recipe card below.
This Fruit Bread is very easy to make and you can add chopped dry fruits and edible seeds like sunflower, sesame, pumpkin or flax to make it richer in nutrition, taste and texture.

I developed this homemade Fruit Bread recipe, and things changed. Nowadays, I don’t even look at the bread section at any store.

Whether you make Fruit Bread or Fruit Bun, it pairs really well with tea and coffee. You can spread some butter on the Fruit Bread slices and enjoy it that way too. At home, I prefer having this sweet Fruit Bread just as it is.

Irrespective of the popular belief that the Fruit Bread has its roots in Britain, it is not really where it belongs. The Fruit Bread is 2000 years old and has its origin in ancient Rome. Roman soldiers carried it as a snack to battlefields as it had a good shelf-life.
The Romans had their own Fruit Bread recipe which included barley mash, pine nuts, raisins, pomegranate seeds and honeyed wine. They shaped it as a cake and called it ‘satura.’
Fruit Bread has many variations in different cultures and cuisines across the world. Here’s a list of some more interesting facts about this decadent bread.
Fruit Loaf Recipe
It could be due to the quality of yeast or the yeast may not have proofed well. Less warm water won’t activate the yeast and hot water will destroy it.
Yes, you can. Use this conversion: ½ tablespoon dry active yeast = 1 teaspoon instant yeast. You can make this Fruit Bread in the convection mode of a microwave at 170 degrees C.
Yes, it can be. But with only whole wheat flour, the loaves may turn out dense. So, you will have to add some acidic agent like lemon juice, vinegar, buttermilk or curd, which will help in softening the texture.
Nut & Fruit Bread (gluten, Oil & Egg Free)
You can add 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar when you add oil in this recipe, and then knead. This way you can skip both all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
Opt to add any neutral tasting oil instead of sunflower oil. The oil should not have any flavor or aroma. You can also use unsalted butter instead of sunflower oil.
In a convection oven, the baking temperature is usually reduced by 10 to 20 degrees. If you do not reduce the baking temperature, then the time taken for baking will be less.
Banana Bread Recipe
So, either you reduce the baking temperature or reduce the time. In both these cases, it’s better to keep a check on the cake as baking occurs quickly in a convection oven.
The upper crust of the bread came out hard and thus broke while slicing. While the inside was moist. What could be the reason?
There are many reasons that could lead to the hardening of the crust. It could be the inappropriate temperature of the oven or under formation of gluten in the bread dough because of not kneading the dough well.
Vegan Raisin Bread (german Stuten)
Check the doneness of the dough by stretching a small portion of the dough. If it doesn’t break, it means it is kneaded well.
