CHRISTMAS GUMDROP BREAD

Quick but luxurious and fun for giving. The baking mix makes it quick, while cherries, candy, fruit and nuts make it look festive when cut open. For a gift presentation, either cut the bread and arrange on a plate, or wrap in nice packaging, because the loaves are a bit brown and lumpy on the outside.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your gumdrop bread.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender loaf of bread.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread.
  • Fold in the gumdrops gently: This will help prevent them from breaking up and sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Gumdrop bread is a delicious, festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet, chewy texture and colorful gumdrops, gumdrop bread is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
