      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 😆
