If you’re looking for a yummy bread recipe that has a fruity twist, you should definitely try making fruited yeast bread. This bread is a delicious combination of tangy fruit and warm, freshly-baked bread. Best of all, making homemade fruited yeast bread is easier than you might think.

Preparing the Dough

First, you will need to gather your ingredients: flour, sugar, yeast, salt, butter, eggs and dried fruit. You can use any kind of dried fruit you prefer, such as raisins, cranberries, apricots, or dates. Start by mixing the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Then add the melted butter and eggs to the bowl and mix the ingredients together until they form a dough.

Adding the Fruit

Next, add the dried fruit to the dough and knead it in until it is evenly distributed throughout the dough. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot until it has doubled in size. This will take approximately one hour.

Baking the Bread

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased bread pan and let it rise again for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the bread for 35-40 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread to check if it’s ready; if it comes out clean, the bread is done. Let the bread cool before serving.

Tips for Best Results

When making fruited yeast bread, there are some tips you can use to ensure the best results. First, use quality ingredients, especially when it comes to the dried fruit. Second, always proof your yeast to make sure it’s active before adding it to the dough. Finally, be patient and let the dough rise properly, as this will ensure a light, fluffy bread.

Enjoy your delicious fruited yeast bread with a cup of tea or coffee, or as a snack on its own. This bread also makes a great gift for friends and family members who love homemade treats!
