Cashew Fruit Bread (Abm for Dough Only)
- Ready In:
- 1hr
- Ingredients:
- 11
- Yields:
-
1 large loaf
- Serves:
- 5
ingredients
- 1 1⁄3 cups warm water
- 3 tablespoons powdered milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 4 teaspoons butter
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted dry-roasted cashews, pieces
- 1⁄2 cup raisins
- 1⁄2 cup dried apricot, chopped in small pieces
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest (grated lemon peel)
- 3 3⁄4 - 4 cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast (do not use less this needs more yeast than usually used in most recipes)
directions
- Combine ingredients into a bread machine and set machine to the dough cycle.
- After dough has kneaded about 5 minutes look at the dough and add the extra flour if it looks too sticky.
- The humidity in the air makes the dough vary from day to day, although this needs to be a soft dough when ready to shape into a loaf for the texture of the end product to be good.
- At the end of the dough cycle, form dough into desired shape.
- Put loaf into either a greased large loaf pan or onto a round baking stone sprinkled with a small amount of cornmeal.
- Lightly oil top and sides of dough and cover with plastic wrap.
- Place in a warm place and let raise until doubled in size.
- It may take a couple of hours to raise, since it does raise a little slower than traditional bread.
- Bake 350 degrees about 30 minutes or until it sounds hollow when tapped.

This is fantastic bread!! I used the dough cycle on my ABM and then baked in the oven at 350. I made 1 large loaf and 1 mini loaf. The loaves baked up high & a pretty golden brown. I thought the nut and fruit ratio was perfect. I served this bread alongside a contest recipe for chicken salad for lunch. It has a sweet pleasant flavor that would also be terrific for breakfast or brunch served with cream cheese. I also would like to try making the dough into sweet rolls and topping with a cream cheese icing. I think the flavor would work well. This is a recipe I will use again!! Great job!!
