Bread Machine Candied Sweet Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Make this recipe with bread machines that use 3 cups flour.
• Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except raisins and fruitcake mix in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Add raisins and candied fruit at the raisin/nut signal or 5 to 10 minutes before last kneading cycle ends.
• Select Basic/White cycle. Use Medium or Light crust color.

Steps:

• Grease an 8x5-inch loaf tin thoroughly. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat eggs in a medium bowl. Add milk and melted butter; mix well.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, prepared fruits and nuts, and mix well. Add egg mixture to fruit and nut mixture, stirring just enough to blend. Pour batter into the greased loaf tin. Let stand for 20 minutes.
• Place pan in center of oven on middle rack. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. Turn out on wire rack, and allow to cool for several hours before slicing.

Steps:

• Put ingredients in bread machine according to your machine's manufacturing directions and set the dough cycle.
• When done, remove and seperate into 3 sections.
• Roll each section out like snakes and mesh ends together.
• Braid and press ends together.
• Place in baking dish and allow to rise for 25-30 minutes.
• Brush melted butter or egg white on top after rising.
• Bake at 340 degrees for 30-45 minutes, until top is golden brown.
• If a better crust is wanted: Heat some water in an oven proof container in the microwave until near boiling. Then place water in the oven beside the bread.

Steps:

• Place the water, sugar and yeast in the pan of the bread machine. Let the yeast dissolve and foam for 10 minutes. Add the oil, flour and salt to the yeast. Select Basic or White Bread setting, and press Start.

Steps:

• ** I prefer to mix my own from separate containers of candied cherries, citron, lemon and orange peel rather than use the premixed peel sold for friut cake as the individual fruit flavors remain more distinct this way.
• Add ingredients in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer select white bread or sweet bread and push start; dough will look wet but that is normal for this bread, don't be tempted to add more flour.
• Note: I have found that candied fruit and nuts are rather resilient and don't break up easily.
• So I find little difference if the fruit and nuts are added at the beginning instead of waiting for the additives beep of the machine.
• You can wait if you wish but I tend in this recipe to throw it in with the rest of the ingredients.
• I like my bread less dense so the bread so that the flavor of the bread comes through and I can spread some butter on it.
• If you prefer a more dense fruity bread you can increase the fruit to a full cup.

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients into the bread machine according to machine manufacturer's instructions.
• Use basic white bread or sweet bread cycle.
