Recipe's preparation

    Fruit and nut Mix
  1. Place dried apricots in TM bowl. Set dial to [locked] and turbo 3 times until apricots are chopped into small chunks.

    Add sultanas, raisins and nuts. Add boiling water and mix for 10 seconds on Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" speed 2.

    Set aside.

  2. Fruit loaf
  3. Place starter, milk, water, cinnamon, treacle and oil into TM bowl. Mix for 3 minutes at 37oC on speed 2.

    Add salt and flour and mix for 5 seconds on speed 5.

    Set dial to Closed lid"Closed lid" and knead on Dough mode"Dough mode" for 2 minutes.

    While the dough is kneading, strain the liquid off the fruit and nut mix. When the dough has 30 seconds left to knead, add the fruit and nut mix through the hole in the lid.

    Scrape the dough into a loaf tin.

     

  4. Leave to prove at room temperature for 9 hours. I leave mine in a cold oven. The dough should rise to almost the top of the tin.

  5. Preheat oven to 200oC. Bake at 200oC for 40-45 minutes on the bottom shelf. To check if the loaf is cooked tap on the bottom. It should sound hollow.

    Turn out of the tin immediately and cool on cooling rack.

Tip

You can substitute any fruit and nuts you like giving a total weight of 200g.

You can use honey or maple syrup instead of the treacle/golden syrup.

If you have a smaller loaf tin make a 2/3 or 1/2 batch.

    Homegrown and under 100: If you have issues with rising fruit i suggest that you roll your fruit in a little of the flour you use before mixing in

    Mine turned out a bit dense. Sliced and placed in freezer so not sure on the taste.

    Easy and delicious. Will start the night before next time and bake when I get up in morning. Most of fruit rose to the top - but was still good.

    Thanks a million, Karen.  I want to make this soon.  Have my starter ready.  Just fed it this morning and not sure how many hours it needs to do its thing before I can start making your loaf.  I'm excited.
