ROSEMARY AND APRICOT FRENCH LOAF



Rosemary and Apricot French Loaf image

This is a sweet bread that seems quite fancy and is actually not much more work than a simple French loaf. I went to an Irish bakery once and they had apricot bread. In my imagination, this is the recipe I was thinking of so I made this up when the Irish bakery didn't read my mind.

Time 3h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ⅜ cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ cup dried apricots, quartered
4 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Steps:

  • Place water, olive oil, and salt into one side of a bread machine. Place 1/3 of the apricots on top of this fluid mixture with 2 cups of flour. Place more apricots in the middle of the flour, pour remaining flour on top, followed by remaining apricots. This will help weaker bread machines integrate the apricots.
  • Run French loaf cycle for a 2-pound loaf. Remove from the machine after the cycle is done, about 3 1/2 hours.
