Rosemary and Apricot French Loaf

Rosemary and Apricot French Loaf

This is a sweet bread that seems quite fancy and is actually not much more work than a simple French loaf.
I went to an Irish bakery once and they had apricot bread. In my imagination, this is the recipe I was thinking of so I made this up when the Irish bakery didn’t read my mind.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/8 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ cup dried apricots, quartered
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Directions

Step 1
Place water, olive oil, and salt into one side of a bread machine. Place 1/3 of the apricots on top of this fluid mixture with 2 cups of flour. Place more apricots in the middle of the flour, pour remaining flour on top, followed by remaining apricots. This will help weaker bread machines integrate the apricots.

Step 2
Run French loaf cycle for a 2-pound loaf. Remove from the machine after the cycle is done, about 3 1/2 hours.

Cook’s Notes:

Add ingredients according to individual machine instructions. The cook time is how long it takes my machine to run that cycle.
