NUT AND FRUIT BREAD



Nut and Fruit Bread image

This is another great holiday bread to make that belonged to my mother. She sometimes served this one, and it is a very old recipe. This bread is good the first day, but better the second. You may use dates instead of raisins if you wish.

OATMEAL, FRUIT AND NUT BREAD



Oatmeal, Fruit and Nut Bread image

This is a tasty bread with very little fat-virtually none if you use the nonfat buttermilk and leave out the nuts. I've only made it with raisins, but I'll bet it would be really good with the dried cranberries also.

NUT AND FRUIT BREAD



NUT AND FRUIT BREAD image

Categories     Fruit     Nut     Orange

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup raisins
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter (or shortening), melted

Steps:

  • Grease an 8 x 5 inch loaf tin thoroughly. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg well. Mix in milk and melted butter or shortening.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a mixing bowl. Add sugar, nuts, raisins and orange rind; mix well. Blend egg mixture into fruit and nut mixture until flour is just moistened.
  • Turn batter into greased loaf tin, and allow to stand for 20 minutes.
  • Place pan in the center of the oven. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.
  • Turn bread out on wire rack, and cool for several hours before slicing.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients and equipment. This will ensure a smooth and efficient baking process.
  • Preheat the oven: Always preheat your oven to the desired temperature before placing the bread in. This helps the bread rise properly and evenly.
  • Use good quality nuts and fruits: Opt for fresh, high-quality nuts and fruits to ensure the best flavor in your bread. If using dried fruits, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before adding to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined and no more.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is fully baked. Check the bread 10-15 minutes before the end of the baking time to make sure it doesn't overcook.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to firm up and hold its shape. Slice the bread with a sharp serrated knife for clean, even slices.

Conclusion:

With its delightful combination of nutty flavor, fruity sweetness, and moist texture, nut and fruit bread is a versatile and delicious treat perfect for any occasion. Whether you're enjoying a slice for breakfast, lunch, or dessert, this bread is sure to satisfy your cravings. Experiment with different nuts, fruits, and spices to create your own unique variations. Happy baking!
