Tropical Medley Bread

Let your bread machine do the heavy lifting on this one.

Bread flour, a touch of sugar, skim milk powder, and applesauce form a soft, tender dough. Mixed dried fruit gets folded in for pops of chewy sweetness in every slice.

The applesauce is the quiet hero here, adding moisture and a subtle fruity depth without making the bread heavy or cake-like.

Works on regular, rapid, or delayed time cycles, so you can wake up to the smell of fresh-baked bread with zero effort.

Kitchen Tips

• Chop larger pieces of dried fruit so they distribute evenly and don’t jam the bread machine paddle.
• Add the dried fruit at the “add-in” beep if your machine has one, or during the second knead cycle to keep the pieces intact.
• For a richer loaf, swap the water for coconut water or tropical fruit juice.
