Recipe: Gingerbread Loaf in Bread Maker

I try to drag my Bread Maker out once a month to make it worth the begging I did for it for my Birthday present last year.

 

I'm yet to make a plain bread - it's either savoury or sweet and this Gingerbread loaf was really light and made the house smell sweet and sugary it was just divine.

GINGERBREAD LOAF
750g loaf in Bread Maker

250ml Water
1 tbs Margarine
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Golden syrup
2 tsp Ginger, ground
1/2 tsp All spice, ground
1 tsp Bread improver
480g Plain flour
2 tsp Yeast
1/4 cup Sultanas
1/4 cup Almonds, slivered

Add the ingredients into the Bread Maker in the following order - liquid, dry, yeast and then press start. 

 

Measure all the liquid ingredients first - add the water, margarine and golden syrup

 

Next add the dry ingredients - Spices, Ginger

 

And All Spice

 

Bread Improver which makes it fluffy

Then the flour is measured and added

 

 Lastly the Dry Yeast to help it rise

 

 Then it all goes into the Bread Maker to mix and knead all ingredients together

 

The sultanas and almonds are dispensed and mixed in

 

Next it rises and then bakes

When it's ready it will switch from bake to warm and you can turn it out

Slather it in butter and eat with a cuppa it's the breakfast of champions!

 

This is what I love about my Bread Maker, you just put it all in there and it mixes, kneads, rests and bakes all by itself!
