Apricot Raisin Bread (Bread Machine) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup milk
1/3 cup butter
2 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 3/4 cups flour
2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast
1 cup chopped dried apricot
1/4 cup raisins

Preparation

Heat cold milk for 30 seconds in the microwave; hold eggs under tap water for a minute to warm.
Add ingredients according to your manufacturer's directions.
Set Cycle: Sweet, Size, 2lb.
After about 5 minutes, check your dough: Add a tablespoon of water if too dry, or a tablespoon of flour if too wet, until dough is smooth.
Alternatively, set cycle to dough, take dough out and shape as desired.
I like to divide the dough in half, then divide each half into three, roll into ropes and braid, joining the dough ends together to create a braided circle.
Leave to rise until doubled, bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
