Sweet Bread with Fresh Fruit

Most of the recipes for sweet bread use dry fruit. I have been making sweet bread and rolls for quite some time and get bored with the same old recipes. Today, I will go out of the ordinary by creating a sweet bread using a combination of fresh fruit. This is yet another remarkable way to use a bread machine that takes the kneading, proofing, and frustration out of baking bread. The end result is a moist, sweet bread that can be sliced and served with jam and butter to satisfy to all people.

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups of water and milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups bread flour
2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
Fillings:
1 cup finely-cut combination of fresh fruit, such as pear, apple, and tangerine 
2 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:
Place all the ingredients except the filling in a bread machine pan. Select dough setting, and press start. When dough has risen long enough, the machine will sound. Remove the dough from bread pan and mix the filling into the dough until all the fillings are mixed with the dough.
Grease a 11” x 6” loaf pan with coconut oil or soft butter. Fold in dough to fit inside the loaf pan with the seam side down. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for a second time (about 40 to 50 minutes or until double in size).
Preheat oven to 350°. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let bread cool.
