How to Make Apricot Fig Bread

  1. **Non-Bread Machine:** In a large bowl, combine 1 teaspoon active dry yeast, 1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar, 1/4 cup Splenda for baking (or granulated sugar), 2 tablespoons powdered milk, 1 teaspoon cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 2 cups whole wheat flour, 2 cups bread flour, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup egg substitute, and 1/2 cup warm water.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using a dough hook on a stand mixer, mix until a soft dough ball forms (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. **Bread Machine:** Place all ingredients (except filling) into your bread machine pan, following your machine's instructions. Select the dough cycle and let it run until complete.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  6. Cover and let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Roll the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
  8. Spread 1/2 cup apricot jam evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped fresh figs over the jam.
  10. Tightly roll the dough into a log, pinching the seam to seal. Place the log in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  11. Let the dough rise in a warm place until almost doubled (about 1 hour).
  12. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  13. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  14. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
