Background

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

1 tsp Yeast
400g Strong Wholemeal Flour
75g Butter
2 medium Eggs
2 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Mixed Spice
110 mL Earl Grey Tea
110 mL Milk
Additional Ingredient(Auto/Manual):
150g Mixed Dried Fruit

Instructions

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.
