Bread Machine Fruit Loaf - cooking recipe

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)

Preparation

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.
