Delicious bread that is wonderful with tea, or coffee! This bread needs to 'ripen' for 12 hours in your fridge and that is not included in the prep time. Ingredients:
1 cup dried apricot |
1 1/2 cups boiling water |
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°; grease a 9-inch loaf pan.
2. Cut the apricots into small pieces and places in a bowl; add the boiling water and set aside to cool.
3. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine the egg, vanilla, sugar and oil; beat until blended.
5. Gradually add the apricot mixture, beating constantly.
6. Add the flour mixture and beat until smooth; stir in the nuts, then scrape the dough into the prepared pan.
7. Bake for 1 hour.
8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then loosen with spatulas and transfer to a rack; cool then wrap in foil and store in the fridge for at least 12 hours before serving.
