Baker's Notes

Toss fruit in a tablespoon of flour before folding into the batter — it prevents the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.

Tips & Tricks

  • Toss fruit in a tablespoon of flour before folding in to prevent sinking.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing — cutting too early releases steam and changes texture.
  • Fruit breads freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.

Made this for a dinner party and everyone wanted the recipe. The bread was the star of the table — warm, crusty, and absolutely delicious.

Five stars! The crust was perfectly crispy and the crumb was soft and airy. I'll never buy store-bought bread again.

This is now our go-to bread recipe. The house smelled incredible while it was baking. My kids couldn't wait to tear into a warm slice.
