    Does any of you know how to make 'apricot bread'? My DH regularly tells me how nice the apricot bread of one of the supermarkets used to be (can't remember now which one), and that he and his sister would eat the lot between them as soon as they came back from shopping.
    I have been searching for apricot bread recipes ever since, but never found anything that met his approval. It maybe a long shot, but if there is somebody out there who knows how to make really yummy apricot bread, could you share the secret, please?

    Has anyone tried using beer to make bread instead of water? What happened? :cool:

  • Thank you Thank you Thank you!! I made a variation of the braid today. I made a sweet brioche dough in the breadmaker, only had 1 apple so added more raisins. Then I glazed the top with lemon and sugar before cooking it and topped with the drizzled icing afterwards. It was YUMMY!
