Christmas Recipe for Bread Making Machines - Spiced & Malted Fruit Loaf December 2021

This is a delicious and easy recipe for making a gorgeous sweet, mildly spicy malted fruit loaf which is lovely toasted and spread with butter. It tastes very similar to a toasted tea cake. This recipe is for bread machines that have a setting for fruit loaves or raisin bread. It's spicy and slightly lemon aroma is absolutely great for a Christmas tea time treat or breakfast.
I use a Panasonic bread maker. It is a Panasonic SD-YR2550SXC (this is not a paid promotion).

To anyone living in the USA, try Natural Grocer's for malt syrup :)

I'm not a big raisin fan but once you toasted and buttered your bread.... oh yum 😋!

[@Annie.xx-xx]

Wow. I was like a child saying ooooohhhhh ahhhhh wow . Oh that looked so good . And the spoon really did look like a sunset 🌅. Lovely video . How about that for breakfast fresh baked fruit loaf . Delicious 💖xx

"A sunset in a spoon".

[@123uschie]

That looks like a great loaf of Christmas bread.I know you said the recipe is for a bread machine but I think I can easily tweak It for a hand made loaf . Thanks for the inspiration🥰 Richard you do a great job of narrating and demonstrating when you do your cooking videos and Paul your facial expression when tasting the loaf tells me it is delicious 😋

[@RichardandPaul]

Go for it!

[@robynclarke5274]

Looks good, I will try it.

[@sherryallen4537]

Thank you Richard for another lovely video! I love your enthusiasm and appreciation of your ingredients "a sunset in a spoon"! I really want a bread machine now, I have never successfully made bread by hand sadly. What a nice loaf you have made! Have a great weekend love from Massachusetts!

[@RichardandPaul]

I just think they're a great invention....I have had consistently great results with this machine. Glad you enjoyed it Sherry, thanks so much for watching 😊

[@marcyjrtmom8139]

Looks delicious!

[@RichardandPaul]

It's a lovely bread. Really tasty. Thanks for watching 😊

[@beverley1539]

Hiya Richard, appreciated the tips while using bread maker. Do love a toasted raisin bread with butter perhaps not as much as you slathered on lol. Blessings to you and yours Ontario Canada 🐝

[@RichardandPaul]

Well, my secret is.... it wasn't butter! We use a cholesterol reducing spread!

[@beverley1539]

@@RichardandPaul oh! Sorry did not know thanx. Have a lovely day 🦔

[@JonTanOsb]

On this side of the pond, the bread machines want the wet first, then the dry. The yeast goes in a divot in the top of the flour and the added ingredients are added by opening the lid when the machine beeps. Still, worth a go. Black treacle (molasses) is easy to find here, but not malt extract. I wonder if it has a different name? But I will look. Thanks. It looks so yummy. ~ Jon in rural BC, Canada

[@carolinegray3150]

It’s a good idea doing this way in the bread maker

[@donnastacey7227]

That looks lovely, thank you very much for the recipe, I'll be giving it a go. I use mine to make and prove the dough very often but shape and bake it myself...... could get Paul back out of retirement .... your breakfast now has me hunting through the kitchen for things to eat lol !!

[@WhatVivididnext]

Pimp my loaf! Mmmm....gorgeous looking loaf...and lush locks today. 😁

[@RichardandPaul]

It's my new do! Thanks lovely.😉

[@MorningsattheAllotment]

Oooooooh, thanks for the inspiration, Richard. That really does look delicious and I definitely need something a bit different for breakfast or tea during the dreary winter months. 🍞 ...and I will definitely try to make buns from this one in the oven, Paul, just for you - that way you won't get in trouble with Richard 🤣

[@wendyjones4777]

That came out perfect - enjoyed the video

[@annakozlowski4837]

I don't know which was better watching you make it or watching you two eat it food porn either way going to make this for sure Thank You Richard love these vlogs🌹🍞

[@RichardandPaul]

Thanks so much!

It looks divine! So does your hair.❤️

[@RichardandPaul]

You're very kind ☺

[@theweatherisaokay4964]

Looking delicious and nice texture. I bet it's tasty too. I would like to try slightly bigger size to suit my bread maker.

[@RichardandPaul]

Yes you could easily increase the ingredients for a larger loaf.

[@Button24]

Looks yummy X 🥰😍😘❤️💕

[@carolinegray3150]

Lovely

[@lollys9041]

Thank you Richard looks yum. 😻🙏❤️

[@Caoucaren]

You sure have fabulous hair Richard. Did you get it cut?

[@RichardandPaul]

Thankyou! I did - i just chopped it myself! I never go to the hairdresser.

[@adelaidedupont9017]

I wondered if the rest phase saves electricity like the "standby" in the inverters and air/heat conditioners?

[@RichardandPaul]

I think it is a low power state which applies a very small amount of heat to bring all the ingredients up to the same temperature.

[@adelaidedupont9017]

@@RichardandPaul Ah good! Thank you! And what was the temperature for the fruit loaf?

[@RichardandPaul]

The machine is fully automatic....you don't set a temperature yourself....it does it all for you.

[@sueb7065]

I just wondered what happens if you have a power cut. Does it carry on when the power is back on?

[@RichardandPaul]

Good question but I have no idea. Thankfully power cuts are very rare here.

[@sueb7065]

@@RichardandPaul Thanks Richard. We live in the Norfolk countryside and tend to get quite a few power cuts.

[@RichardandPaul]

Ah yes. It is a consideration....I'm not sure whether the machine has a 'memory'.....I'll have to investigate!

[@sueb7065]

@@RichardandPaul Great as with my bread maker i used to have before i gave it away in the instruction book it said if we had a power cut then we would have to start again.

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

Brilliant - but you need to stop these recipes as I am putting weight on just by watching LOL A little tip for you when loading up the Panasonic seed/nut/fruit dispenser: toss sticky dried fruit in a bit of flour before loading it into the dispenser especially if using the delay cook timer - sometimes things can stick in there if you don't. Hope this helps your bakes!

[@RichardandPaul]

Yes great tip, thank you 😊
