Vickys Mixed Fruit Bread, Dairy, Egg & Soy-Free, Bread Machine and Manual Methods

Put the ingredients into a breadmaker in the order listed except for the dried fruit

Select the option for a 2lb normal white loaf and let it mix the dough on the 1st cycle

Add the mixed fruit after the first mixing and proving cycle - the machine usually beeps to signal this

Let the machine do its job and when done let the loaf sit in the tin for 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack

Let cool before slicing evenly with a serrated knife

Instead of water and powdered milk you can use milk, rice milk, almond milk etc. The powdered creamer option is best for the time delay option on most bread machines. It's important that your liquid is around 21C or the yeast won't activate properly

Keep in a lidded container for up to 3 days or in the freezer for a month
