Breakfast Bread

The recipe for this breakfast bread with dried fruit is the easiest and most delicious of all the bread recipes I have shared lately.
The dough for this bread is more like a bread dough rather than a cake dough and the flavour gets better as it ages.

 

Ingredients:

• 5 cups flour
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup yoghurt
• 200 ml milk
• juice and rind of one small orange
• 125 gr (1 stick) melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup mixed dried fruit
• 1 cup coarsely crushed walnuts

How to:

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Butter a 9x5 inch loaf pan thoroughly.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a small hole in the middle of the mixture and pour the beaten eggs, milk, yoghurt, orange juice, orange rind, butter and vanilla.

Mix all together until you get a homogenous batter. Add the dried fruits and crushed walnuts. The batter will be quite thick, difficult to pour.

Pour into the well-buttered loaf pan and bake for 60 to 75 minutes. Check with a pick to see if it's done (there should not be any batter sticking to the pick). When cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar on top.

Bon Appetite!
