Categories     Breakfast     Dessert     Snack

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
1½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg (room temperature)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour a 9 inch (23 cm) loaf pan.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure you measure and prepare all the ingredients. This will make the baking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh, ripe apricots for the best flavor and texture. If fresh apricots are unavailable, you can substitute them with dried apricots that have been soaked in warm water for 10 minutes.
  • Mixing the Dough: Use a large bowl to mix the dough. Make sure to mix the dough until it forms a smooth and elastic ball.
  • Kneading the Dough: Once the dough has been mixed, knead it on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the dough, which will give the bread a chewy texture.
  • First Rise: After kneading, place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Shaping the Loaves: Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal parts. Shape each part into a loaf and place them in greased loaf pans.
  • Second Rise: Cover the loaf pans with plastic wrap and let the dough rise again in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Baking the Bread: Preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe. Bake the loaves for the recommended time, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cooling the Bread: Once the loaves are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, turn the loaves out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Apricot Whole Wheat Bread is a delicious and nutritious bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is made with whole wheat flour, which is a good source of fiber and nutrients. The apricots add a sweet and tangy flavor to the bread, and the walnuts add a crunchy texture. This bread is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
