    Christmas Fruit Bread
    Ingredients:
    7 to 8 Cups, flour 2 Tbsp, fast rising or traditional yeast
    ¾ Cup, sugar 1 Tbsp, sugar, for yeast
    1 Tbsp, Vanilla extract ½ Cup, unsalted butter
    ½ Tsp, sea salt 2 Large, eggs
    2 Cups, mixed dried fruit/peels 1 Cup, warm water
    2 Cups, warm fresh milk or evaporated milk
    In a measuring cup add 1 cup warm water and 2 tbsp of yeast, 1 tbsp sugar stir together and set aside to rise for 5 minutes.
    In a large bowl add 7 cups of sifted flour, 3/4 cup of sugar or less, ½ tsp sea salt and 2 cups of dried mixed fruit and peels, mix together until all blended, then make a whole in the middle of mixture.
    In a medium glass bowl add ½ cup melted butter, 2 cups warm milk, 2 beaten eggs, 1 tbsp vanilla, mix together until all combined, making sure you don’t cook the eggs then pour in the middle of the flour mixture.
    Then add the risen yeast in the middle of the flour and start mixing with a wooden spoon, mix the liquid and flour all around until everything starts to come together, using the 1 cup flour or more to work the dough together.
    After it starts to get hard to move with the wooden spoon around in the bowl discard spoon and work the dough with your hand leaving one hand on the bowl and one for the dough, pulling the dough towards you and pushing it down into the bowl adding extra flour as needed. Use kitchen aid if needed.
    When dough becomes a round ball flip it over, make the sign of a cross on top dough, then cut the dough with a knife, cover with a lid or a sheet of parchment paper and a towel, put on the counter in the sun or warm place in your kitchen.
    Let rise until the dough is half the size or around 30 minutes, then knead it down with your hand and rolling the bowl around to equally form the dough into a ball again. Cover put in a warm place again for another 30 minutes.
    Prepare 3 small bread pans or two bread pans and one bunt pan with a hole in the middle to make a christmas wreath with the dough, grease your pans first.
    Cut small pieces of dough off rolling it out wards and in under until you form a ball, place in the pan. continue doing this until you have pans full with three round dough balls each.
    If you would like to make a wreath you will need three pieces of dough, then sprinkle flour over the counter, roll with your hands on the counter top the dough to make three long pieces of dough strings.
    Place the three of them down and pinch the top then make a braid out of the dough by folding each piece over the other until you are at the end.
    Cover the dough and let rise until its half the size or at less more then you started with, let rise for 30 to 40 minutes, when risen pre-heat oven to 350ºf bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown depending on your oven.
    When baked place on a cooling rack, glaze with butter over top and place a piece of parchment paper over bread wreath with a towel to soften bread and to cool it down.
    BAKING TIPS:
    Please Note: Anytime you are working with dough you may need to add more flour or water to have that dough elasticity texture, don’t be afraid to work the dough by kneading it a few extra times for about 10 to 15 minutes.
    Using the oven with the LIGHT ON only is a good warm place to rise your dough, set the timer.
    I apologize in advance if anything in this video is not clear or miss read, please follow my recipe when making this dish.

    I really don't usually subscribe to any channel but I have to tell you I absolutely enjoy this channel so much I even think I am addicted To it. The best thing is you are so relaxed at whatever you happen to be making you take your time. And most times you even answer questions before they are asked. The first time I found this sight I subscribed without hesitation. Thanks for all you do for your fans who like me who come every day to see if there is anything new. Your loyal fan from Cape Breton.

      agnes mckenzie you have made my day, you have answered my question I've been asking myself. I'm I helpful to people with my recipe ideas and is it worth my while. We my husband and I put in at less 70 hours a week working on making videos, answering questions and writing recipes. It's nice to get feedback and how the recipes and videos are coming across and to give me more incentive to continue making more. We have over 160 recipe and video made to this point and have been working on more line ups, plus I've been making guest appearance on CBC Crosstalk Radio giving cooking tips. But I have been enjoying every minute, so thank you for being so supportive and have a wonderful day. Enjoy Bonita

      @bonitaskitchen  Před 4 lety

      Hi Eva, thank you for stopping by and I'm glad you enjoyed our recipe for christmas fruit bread. When you sift the flour it gives it a cake flour texture, you know the flour you by called cake flour. This recipe is a cut between a cake and bread. I don't do this with my other breads but you can, I hope this answers your question and have a lovely day. :) Bonita

      Hi Kurt: Thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, there is so many types of flour now to help with our dietary needs. Some of which is difficult to work with unless you have the right pairing of ingredients. Almond flour got a grainy texture, I've never made bread with almond or coconut flour before, but I'm sure there may be recipe here on youtube that do have a recipe or video to make bread. This is a lovely recipe for fruit bread and so tasty, sorry I can't help but when I get a little extra time I will give it a try and share it with you. I hope this helps....Bonita

      @bonitaskitchen  Před 5 lety

      Hi Joan Coish: Thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, I have had this bunt pan for 20 years and love making coffee cakes and breads in it. Years ago when I lived in the NWT I would go to these home decor parties and this one I'm thinking was pamper chef I may have that spelled wrong. It's a stone pan so maybe if you even google stone bunt pans and see what you find. This is a lovely bread and great anytime of the year, now that Easter is around the corner this will be lovely to serve with a nice dinner. Enjoy Bonita
