  Nothing too exciting. Just a few handfuls of whatever sultanas/currants/mixed fruit I have, a bit of mixed spice and a spoonful of brown sugar.

  If I’m feeling fancy enough to use an actual recipe I use a hot cross bun recipe that works nicely for a loaf too:

  600g flour ( 4 cups) 1 tsp dry yeast 1 tsp nutmeg 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt 80g caster sugar (1/3 cup) 80g butter - rub into dry ingredients 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 cup milk 1/3 cup water 180g sultanas

  Prove, divide, prove & bake

  Makes 12. 200 degree oven 15 mins

  loaf: 1/2 quantity, 110g fruit, small tin.

    Ah thanks for that. I’ve been thinking of making something with my sourdough starter, and nobody in the house can agree on what fruit should go in it 😆
