Fruit and Nut Snack Bread




Source of Recipe


from Larissa's Corner Recipes


Recipe Introduction


This is a good dough to practice proofing and baking in the steam oven since
it requires very little rising time, it is not too sweet and does make a
great snack.


List of Ingredients




Fruit and Nut Snack Bread

3 - 3 ½ cups unbleached all purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
1 package rapid rise yeast
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup whole milk
½ cup water
½ stick unsalted butter
½ cup chopped toasted pecans
1 cup chopped apricots and dried cranberries

Recipe



In a large bowl combine 1 ½ cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt.
Heat the milk water and butter but do not bring to a boil, the butter does
not need to melt. Stir into the dry ingredients. Stir in the fruit and nuts
and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured
surface until smooth and elastic about 4-6 minutes. Cover and rest for 10
minutes. Preheat the steam oven to 95 degrees 60% moisture.
Spray the perforated baking pan with a little oil and press the dough into a
large circle in the pan. Place the dough into the oven and let rise till
doubled in size about 15-20 minutes. Increase temperature to 370 degrees,
lower the moisture to 30% and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and crusty
on the bottom.
