Ingredients
- 270 ml water
- 6 teaspoons butter or 6 teaspoons oil
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 6 teaspoons brown sugar
- 450 g white bread flour (3 cups)
- 6 teaspoons powdered milk
- 3 teaspoons ground mixed spice
- 2 teaspoons yeast
- 1⁄2 cup mixed dried fruit (I use sultanas and raisins, but you could use commercial mixed fruit or currants)
Gelatine Glaze
- 3 tablespoons water (optional)
- 6 teaspoons sugar (optional)
- 3 teaspoons gelatin (optional)
Directions
- Put all of the ingredients except the fruit in the order recommended by your manufacturer.
- If you have a nuts dispenser place the fruit in there.
- Otherwise add the fruit when the 2nd knead has 8 minutes to go.
- If using the glaze, combine glaze ingredients in a small saucepan over a heat until the sugar and gelatine has dissolved.
- Use the pause function if you have one, at fifteen minutes into the baking cycle, brush glaze over loaf.
