CANDIED FRUIT BREAD

Steps:

• Grease an 8x5-inch loaf tin thoroughly. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat eggs in a medium bowl. Add milk and melted butter; mix well.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, prepared fruits and nuts, and mix well. Add egg mixture to fruit and nut mixture, stirring just enough to blend. Pour batter into the greased loaf tin. Let stand for 20 minutes.
• Place pan in center of oven on middle rack. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. Turn out on wire rack, and allow to cool for several hours before slicing.

FRUIT YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Make your bread dough. Let it rise till double in size. Punch it down. Soak your dried fruit a wee bit or don't..doesn't really matter. It's good both ways. Roll dough out not too thin. Spread a little bit of butter, sprinkle some sugar, and spread the dried fruit evenly. Roll up and tighten ends. Lightly butter a loaf pan. Put the dough in and let it raise till double in size.
• 2. Bake 350* until golden brown or until bread test says it done.
• 3. Turn out on rack on it's side to cool. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle a glaze on top. Serve with cream cheese, plain, clotted cream or devonshire cream. This also makes a wonderful bread pudding.
• 4. I'd give you my bread recipe, but somehow saying 6 hand fulls of flour (more or less), 2 thick slices of butter, 1 cake yeast, sugar, salt, scolded milk or half and half just isn't going to cut it for most. One day I will have to measure it all out. The one I posted for the Pirukad is close. That one I measured out.
