Best Fruit Cake Recipe

Wrap the bowl with a plastic film and let the dough stand rise in a warm environment for 1 hour or until it gets almost doubled in size.

I pulled the dough from sides of bowl and folded it into the center.Thus we can incorporate the fruits into the dough and simultaneously can deflate the dough.

Take care not to over work the dough as this can create tension and elasticity to the dough.This may make it difficult for us to flatten the dough during the next step.

Fruit Compote Bread

Now it’s ready for the next step.So cover it with a cling film and let it sit and rise in a warm environment.

Give the fruity bread a good egg wash so that they will look golden brown with a shine on top after baking.

Bake the Fruit bread at 350 F preheated oven for 34-35 minutes.Reduce the baking temperature to 325 F and bake for another 4-5 minutes

Dried Fruit Bread

The top of the fruit bread or fruit loaf will start browning at around 25 minutes of baking.It doesn’t mean our dry fruit bread is done.

At this point if we take it out, the center of the fruit yeast bread will have a doughy texture and it will smell very “yeasty”

If you find the top getting too dark, you can tent the top with an aluminum foil at around 25 minutes and then continue baking.

As one egg is approximately 45 ml, just replace the same volume with water.So you can take out 3 tablespoon of water(45 ml) and add one egg instead.

Once the dry fruits bread has completely cooled, place it in a plastic storage bag, or wrap in foil and store at room temperature.

For freezing: Place the fruit loaf in a heavy-duty freezer bag or wrap the buns tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap and freeze.

Boiled Fruit Loaf

Thaw the Fruit loaf and then brush/spray some water on the slice of fruit bread and place it into a 350 F preheated oven for 5 minutes.

Making this bread for the first time. There is a discrepancy in the amount of water to use for the dough. I decided to go with the 210 ml, since I have a n accurate scale but that only equals 9/10th of a cup of water. Not 1 cup+ I hope this turns out...

Banana Banana Bread Recipe (with Video)

Perfect recipe, thank you! Really detailed instructions and easy to follow. Making something delicious from inexpensive ingredients that are probably lurking in the back of most people's cupboards.

Thank you for the beautiful video and recipe. You are very thorough and concise and I really appreciate that. Excited to make this bread.This enriched Fruit Bread has a beautiful golden brown crust with a wonderfully soft and tender crumb. It is lightly spiced with ground cinnamon and contains dried fruit (raisins, currants, and/or dried cranberries) and candied lemon and/or orange peel.While often served during the holidays, I like this bread year round. Eat it plain or buttered. Also very good toasted served with butter and maybe a slice of sharp cheddar cheese.

As far as ingredients go, we are using unbleached bread flour and unbleached all purpose flour. Bread flour has a higher protein content than All Purpose Flour which gives the bread a nice chewy texture. For the yeast, I like to use SAF Gold instant yeast #ad. This type of yeast gives a good rise and it doesn't need to be proofed. If using active dry yeast you will need to activate it before adding it to the batter. Do this by warming the milk

Candied Fruit Bread Recipe

In the recipe until lukewarm (about 100 degrees F or 38 degrees C).Stir in the yeast and set aside for about 5 to 10 minutes or until foamy

And then add it to the batter along with the egg and butter. Sometimes it can be difficult to find candied peel so just substitute with more currants, raisins, dried cranberries and/or cherries.

Fruit Bread: In the bowl of your electric stand mixer, fitted with the dough hook, place the flours, yeast, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.Stir to combine. Then add the milk, butter, and egg. Knead the dough on 1st speed for four minutes. Increase your mixer speed to 2nd speed and continue to knead the dough for about 4 to 6 minutes or until the dough is smooth, elastic, and not too sticky.

Everything Vegan Fruit, Veggie And Nut Breakfast Bread

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough once, so the top is lightly oiled. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature (about 75 degrees F) (24 degrees C) until almost doubled in size (about 1 1/2 hours).

Meanwhile, place the dried fruit in a bowl and cover with warm water. Let sit about 10 to 15 minutes or until the fruit is soft. Drain and pat dry. Add the candied peel.

You will need a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 3 inch (21.5 x 11.5 x 10 cm) loaf pan. Lightly grease the pan with a flavorless oil or spray with a non stick vegetable spray.

Dried Fruit And Nut Loaf

When the dough has doubled in size, place on a lightly floured surface and form into a rectangle. Sprinkle the dried fruit and candied peel on the surface of the dough and lightly knead until the fruit is incorporated into the dough. Form the dough into a rectangle. Take the short edge of the rectangle and fold the dough lengthwise into thirds, like you're folding a letter. Make sure the edges of the dough are straight and even. (See video for demonstration.) Turn the dough over so the seam is now underneath. Then with the palms of your hands, gently roll the dough back and forth until it's the length of your loaf pan. Place the log of dough into your pan, seam side down. (The dough should fill the pan about half full.) Cover pan with plastic wrap that has been lightly oiled, or sprayed with a non stick vegetable spray, and let proof at room temperature for about 1 hour or until the dough rises almost to the rim of your loaf pan.

When your bread is ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap and, with a pastry brush, brush the top of the bread with the egg wash. Bake for about 30 - 35 minutes or until your bread is golden brown. About halfway through baking turn your pan front to back to promote even baking. If you tap the bottom of the bread it will sound hollow. Remove from oven and place on
