Flour and High Grade flour. With the help of Bread-makers recipes off here . My question is I have a old bread maker Black and Decker and it only options of Basic , wheat , Rabid, French, Dough . So I set it to wheat? not sure if that right to do and when do I put the fruit in please? it does stop twice on basic . I have sultanas and dried apricots to add and can you recommend spice? Nutmeg or Cinnamon?oh and how much fruit ? Thank you .

I make my fruit bread on basic, crust light to med. Nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, mixed spice and allspice (yep that's used in a lot of buns and bread) are good.3/4 cup fruit, add in after 20mins. maybe after the first pause on yrs. I pause the machine for a couple of secs, and turn the dough, if it looks like its not evenly mixing the fruit thru.

sometimes after the loaf has cooked the top goes a bit floppy and kinda wrnkly, but hey, tastes ok and the first slice i always like with butter and vegimite. have to admit , my hubby and i NEVER eat the bread hot, slightly warm, but just love it toasted. I love making my own, as i know what is in it........

Cheers Korbo . Just got home and it rose to the top but sagged on the top in the middle . Also the bottom a bit soggy . Got itin the over now for 10 mins at 80 hoping it will crust and dry it out a little . Looks great apart for that . Cant wait to try it .

happs did you leave the bread in the breadmaker to cool down, sometimes this can make it sweat. My maker says remove after 10mins, and cool on the bench.Hope that helps.
