Christmas Loaf
This is an enriched bread dough, with a bunch of seasonal fruit, a dose of spice and some light brown sugar. I threw in a tangarine too, which lead to too much moisture and to load sinking in the middle, but it tasted great.
I love my breadmaker. It’s not available any more, but the closest model is the Panasonic SD-2500. The timer is invaluble and intuative, very handy for having fresh bread in the morning.
