Yield: 1 Loaf
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 teaspoons | Yeast; (active dry) |
| 3 cups | Bread Flour |
| 2 tablespoons | Dry milk |
| 1½ teaspoon | Salt |
| 2 tablespoons | Butter |
| ¼ cup | Apricot Jam |
| ¾ cup | Dried Apricots; chopped Water |
If your machine offers the option, use the "light crust" setting as the crust browns more due to the sugar content of the jam. Try to use a jam with a high fruit content & few additives. This recipe can be baked on the regular, rapid bake, or timed settings. I have a DAK Turbo II & baked it on the reg setting. It was one of the few loaves that have turned out really well lately...think my DAK is dying; just today ordered a ZOJI from Irwin. The bread kept VERY well in a Rubbermaid container...was nice & fresh for a whole week (I forgot about the last couple of slices!). I even made it when MY mother-in-law came to visit & she LOVED it! Hope it turns out good for you.
