- 1 ½ teelusikallista Kaneli - (huomautus 5)
- ½ kuppi Manteli-maitoa - (huomautus 2)
- 2 ruokalusikallista Miedon makuinen oliiviöljy - (huomautus 3)
- ⅓ kuppi Appelsiinimehu - from 1 small orange (note 4)
- 1 teelusikka Vaniljauute

- ½ kuppi Medjoolin päivämäärät - measured pitted and chopped
- ½ kuppi Kuivatut luumut - measured pitted and chopped
- ⅓ kuppi Kuivatut karpalot

Suosittelijan tunnus
- 1-2 teelusikallista Appelsiinin kuori
- ½ kuppi Saksanpähkinät - paloiteltu
Ohjeet
- Kuumenna uuni 200°C:een. Vuoraa leivinpaperi pellille. Voitele paperi kevyesti ruokaöljysuihkeella. Laita sivuun.
- Chop the pitted dates and prunes and pack the chopped dried fruits in measuring cups to get the amount needed. It doesn't have to be super precise, don't worry if you add a little too much or too less. Set aside
- In a mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour, cinnamon, almond milk, orange juice, olive oil, vanilla extract, the chopped dried fruit from before, dried raisins, and dried cranberries.
- Add optional chopped walnuts and orange zest now if used.
- Use a rubber spatula to stir the ingredients together. The batter is heavy and sticky; that's normal. Stir and press/push with the spatula to bring everything together. When it starts to be difficult to stir, oil your hands with olive oil, and knead a few times – it's sticky, but you should be able to form a dough ball. It means it's not runny; if too wet, then add a bit more self-rising flour to bring the dough together.
- Transfer the sticky dough on the baking sheet.
- Oil your hands again and shape your dough ball into a loaf. The shape you give matters. If it's too tall, it takes ages to bake, which is why you are not supposed to bake it in a loaf pan. Shape your loaf into an 8-inch x 2-inch (20 cm x 5 cm) log.
- Paista leipää uunin keskitasolla 12 minuuttia 200 °C:ssa ja laske sitten lämpötila 180 °C:seen 12–15 minuutiksi, kunnes leipä on kullanruskeaa ulkopuolelta ja siihen työnnetty tikku tulee ulos puhtaana.
- Let it cool down for 3 hours on a cooling rack before slicing.

Ravitsemus
Ainesosat ja vaihdot
Tarvitset vain muutaman yksinkertaisen ainesosan tämän reseptin valmistukseen. Näin valitset ja vaihdat ne.

- Itsekohoava jauho – This forms the base of your bread, already containing baking powder that helps it rise. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can easily make your own by whisking all-purpose flour with baking powder (quantities in the notes of the recipe card). This recipe is designed specifically for this type of flour and won’t work with almond, or oat flours. Use my gluteenittoman ruokavalion muuntamisopas jotta siitä tulisi gluteeniton.
- Kaneli – This spice adds a warm, comforting flavor to your bread. You can also use pumpkin pie spices if you prefer a different blend.
- Manteli-maitoa – This provides the liquid component for the dough, contributing to its texture. Feel free to use any other plant-based milk you enjoy, such as soy milk or oat milk.
- Kevyt oliiviöljy – This adds moisture and a subtle richness to the bread. Any other light-flavor oil, like canola oil, works just as well.
- Appelsiinimehu – This provides a bright, citrusy note that complements the dried fruits. If you don’t care for orange flavor, you can swap it for more almond milk or even mandarin juice.
- Vaniljauute – This enhances the overall flavor profile of the bread, adding a touch of warmth and sweetness.
While you can pick any dried fruits you like (or have), here are my recommendations for a balance of flavors and textures.
- Medjoolin päivämäärät – These provide natural sweetness and a soft, chewy texture. Remember to pit and chop them before measuring. You can swap these for other large dried fruits like figs or apricots.
- Kuivatut luumut – These contribute natural sweetness, moisture, and a dense texture to the bread. Like dates, chop and measure them after pitting.
- Kuivatut karpalot – These add a tart, fruity zing that balances the sweetness of the other dried fruits. You can swap these for sultanas, dried strawberries, or other small dried fruits.
- Kuivatut rusinat – These offer another layer of natural sweetness and chewiness.
How to Make Dried Fruit Bread
Tämä resepti on superhelppo valmistaa, tässä muutama kuva näytöksessä.

Chop the dried fruits into small pieces.

Combine the dough ingredients in a bowl.

Incorporate the dried fruits into the dough.

Shape the bread and bake it for 12 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
Carinen leivontavinkkejä
Kerronpa vielä muutaman vinkin täydellisen leivän valmistamiseksi.
- Muodolla on väliä – Do not bake this bread in a traditional loaf pan. Its dense nature means it needs to be shaped into a log, no taller than 2 inches (5 cm), directly on a baking sheet. This ensures it bakes evenly and avoids a gummy, undercooked center.
- Chop and Measure – For best results, chop your larger dried fruits like dates and prunes first, then pack them into your measuring cups. This ensures you get the right amount and consistent pieces.
- Fresh Dried Fruits are Best – Use fresh, pliable dried fruits. If your dried fruits are old, hard, or overly dry, soften them first by soaking them in hot water for about 10 minutes. Then, drain them thoroughly and pat them completely dry with absorbent paper to avoid adding excess moisture to your dough.
- It’s Sticky! – The dough for this bread is naturally heavy and sticky. That’s completely normal! Don’t be afraid to oil your hands and knead it a few times to bring it together into a manageable ball.
- Customize Your Fruits – Have fun swapping out the dried fruits to create different flavor combinations. Dried mangoes, figs, apricots, sultanas, or even dried strawberries are all excellent choices.
- Lämpötilan muutos – Pay attention to the two-stage baking temperature. Starting hotter helps the bread set, and then reducing the temperature ensures it cooks through without over-browning.
- Don’t Substitute Flour – This recipe specifically uses self-rising flour (or a homemade version with all-purpose flour and baking powder). Do not substitute with gluten-free, almond, or oat flours, as the results will not be the same.
- Mausta se – While cinnamon is called for, feel free to experiment with other warm spices like pumpkin pie spice to change up the flavor profile of your bread.







My favourite fruit bread!
That’s amazing! thank you so much.
Perheeni rakasti tätä!
Kiitos!
Carine, tämä on paras resepti, jota olen kokeillut!
How successful could one be making whole wheat self rising flour for this recipe?
You can always use wholewheat flour instead of wheat flour, if the recipe calls for self-rising flour don’t forget to add 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder per cup of flour. But, keep in mind that wholewheat flour makes everything denser, and packed, less fluffy and moist because it has more fibers.
I have just made the Dried fruit bread. I’m a diabetic so look for refined sugar free recipes.
Honestly, this is the best cake/bread I’ve ever made and it is a staple for my husband and I. Thanks Claudine so much!!!!
Kiitos paljon!
Dear Carene, my sincere apologies for using an incorrect name for you in this post. I’m getting old at nearly 80 so I don’t always get things right.
