How to Make Apricot Raisin Bread Bread Machine

  1. Combine all ingredients in your bread machine pan in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer.
  2. Select the 'dough' or 'basic' setting on your bread machine.
  3. Allow the bread machine to knead and rise according to the selected setting.
  4. Once the first rise is complete, the machine will usually begin the baking cycle automatically. If not, select the bake setting.
  5. Bake according to your machine's instructions (usually around 3-4 hours depending on the loaf size).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
