This is sweet and rich. Lovely toasted with a little butter! You may substitute prunes for the raisins. Ingredients:
1 cup milk |
1/3 cup butter |
2 eggs |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon |
3 3/4 cups flour |
2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast |
1 cup chopped dried apricot |
1/4 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. Heat cold milk for 30 seconds in the microwave; hold eggs under tap water for a minute to warm.
2. Add ingredients according to your manufacturer's directions.
3. Set Cycle: Sweet, Size, 2lb.
4. After about 5 minutes, check your dough: Add a tablespoon of water if too dry, or a tablespoon of flour if too wet, until dough is smooth.
5. Alternatively, set cycle to dough, take dough out and shape as desired.
6. I like to divide the dough in half, then divide each half into three, roll into ropes and braid, joining the dough ends together to create a braided circle.
7. Leave to rise until doubled, bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
