This breakfast fruit bread recipe is made for breakfast thanks to its nutritious combination of fruits and nuts. It’s a yeast bread recipe that can easily be made in the bread machine, but you’ll need to add the fruits and nuts later in the kneading cycle at the beep or use a fruit and nut hopper if your machine has one.
This is another bread that the whole family will love and is a lighter, airier version of a fruit cake given its generous use of dried fruits and nuts. It makes a great foundation for French toast and can be enjoyed as a dessert bread if you don’t finish it all at breakfast.
