Our Spicy Fruit Loaf mix makes a fantastic fruit loaf but also just as marvellous spicy fruit buns.
With slight citrus undertones, and simple to make - no fluffing about - tip - add a few additional ingredients - mix - wait (proving time) - cook - EAT. It’s that simple to create your own homestyle bread made with love, not nasties.
Gluten, dairy, soy, nut and egg-free. You can choose to make it sugar-free too.
500gms of breadmix will make a large 1kg finished weight loaf or 12 good sized buns.
Can be sliced and frozen (if not all eaten a couple of days)
To Make:
* If using citrus juice, weigh your juice and add enough water to get a total of 575ml liquids.
Place all ingredients together in a large bowl or you can use your electric mixer with a dough hook. Keep mixing until a dough is formed. It does thicken as you mix. Your dough should be slightly sticky.
Turn out the dough on to a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes, stretching the dough away from you, then folding it back on itself. Avoid adding more flour if you can: the dough will become less sticky and easier to handle as you knead.
Shape into a smooth ball. Lightly grease your bread tin and dust with flour, making sure all the sides and corners are covered.
Carefully place your dough into your tin, keeping a smooth top. Cover with a cloth to stop the top drying out.
Leave to rise in a warm draft free place for about 40 minutes.
Preheat you oven to 200°C. Once risen, bake in a hot oven for 35-40 minutes. Your bread is cooked when you knock the top and it sounds hollow.
Remove from the tin as soon as cooked to prevent a soggy bottom.
Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
