Bread Machine Fruit Loaf created by bevloves2cook

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 butter or 6 teaspoons oil
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons salt
6 teaspoons brown sugar
450 g white bread flour (3 cups)
6 teaspoons powdered milk
3 teaspoons ground mixed spice
2 teaspoons yeast
¹⁄₂ cup mixed dried fruit (I use sultanas and raisins, but you could use commercial mixed fruit or currants)
Gelatine Glaze
3 tablespoons water (optional)
6 teaspoons sugar (optional)
3 teaspoons gelatin (optional)

directions

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.

Not bad, but It needs way more saltanas, and you've forgotten to include butter, or olive oil

Ok, for the second loaf we added a 1/4 cup of mixed peel and more raisins and sultanas to make up a full cup. We also added and extra teaspoon of mixed spice. 1/2 teaspoon less of salt. The rest of the recipe as is. Oh yeah!
