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.
