Apricot Bread
by:
These loaves aren't bread in the classic sense - they contain no yeast - but are quick breads leavened with baking powder. But they look like bread because they are baked in loaves. You can bake the batter in 5 small loaf pans, or make a larger single loaf and bake it at 350°F. You can use this recipe as a model for a variety of fruit and nut breads by substituting other driedfruits for the apricots and adding the same volume of nuts as fruit. Makes three 2-cup loaves.
