Apricot Spice Bread (Abm) image

A great breakfast bread, toasted with honey or butter slathered on it. This is for the ABM, but could be taken out after first rise and shaped by hand and baked in oven. Maybe at 350F for 30 minutes? This is for a 1 1/2 lb. loaf. Cook time is approximate and doesn't include cooling time for apricots.

This bread is a great fall treat! The apricots and spices give it a warm and cozy flavor. I love to serve it with a cup of coffee or tea.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover apricots. I had a bunch of apricots that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make this bread. It turned out really well! The bread is moist and flavorful, and the apricots add a nice sweetness. I will

This bread was a disappointment. It was dry and bland, and the apricots were tough. I won't be making this recipe again.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the bread always turns out perfectly. I've made it with both fresh and dried apricots and both versions are delicious. I also like to add a bit of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra flavor. Highly recomme

This bread was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I might try using a different recipe next time.
