Fruity Earl Grey Tea Loaf
We were visiting some old friends in the country last weekend and I remembered they were both very fond of fruit bread. So on Saturday night I just popped the ingredients into my trusty bread machine, set the timer and in the morning took out this fine-looking Fruity Earl Grey Tea Loaf to take as a gift. It was very gratefully received and rather delicious! It’s particularly nice with cheese, with butter and jam for afternoon tea or just enjoy it by itself.
Ingredients
Method
- First make the tea – either in a small pot with tea-leaves or just a tea-bag in a cup – and allow 5 minutes properly to brew.
- If you choose to chop up your own dried fruit mixture you can do so now while the tea brews.
- Add all the ingredients to your breadmaker pan in the order above ( or as per the manufacturer’s instructions).
- Put the chopped fruit into the automatic dispenser (or add manually when indicated by your machine)
- Select the medium wholemeal loaf programme (about 5 hours) and start.
