Hot Cross Bun-inspired: Cinnamon Wheat Loaf With Raisins and Dried Apricots Using Breadmaker
sábado, 5 de marzo de 2016
Edit
It is no secret that we love cinnamon (also see Cinnamon Roll recipe). But with our busy workload, I am not ashamed to say that I prefer to take the easy way out by simply dumping all the ingredients into the breadmaker to bake a loaf.
With Easter coming up in a few weeks' time, we are happy to share our really yummy hot cross bun-inspired quick and easy Cinnamon Wheat Loaf With Raisin and Dried Apricot Using the Breadmaker. We especially love nibbling on the dried apricots which lend a nice chewy effect. And yes, these slices certainly taste like hot cross buns - albeit the flat version!
Feel free to add other dried fruits and even some walnuts too, if you like. Enjoy!
