How to make blueberry sweet apricot bread

Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family all the more during the holidays. National Day is coming, are you homesick? Miss the taste of your mother's cooking? But there are not many holidays every year, and only if you learn to cook can you taste your mother's cooking often. So, please follow me to learn how to make blueberry sweet apricot bread.

1.12 First, heat the milk in the microwave until it is warm, then add a pinch of salt, a little sugar, and all the yeast.

2.21 Mix it up a bit

3.12 Then let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the yeast to become fluffy

4.21 I use a stand mixer to knead the dough: put 3 cups of flour, 1/3 cup of sugar and salt in the bowl of the machine and mix them.

5. Then add the beaten eggs and yeast milk liquid

6. Run the machine until dough is formed (if it feels too thin, add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour as appropriate)

7.1 Continue working until a uniform, elastic and smooth dough is formed.

8.2 Add room temperature softened butter

9.1 Cover with lid and ferment for about 1 hour

10.2 Let the kneaded dough rest for a few minutes, then shape it into a smooth ball with your hands

11. Until it is about twice as big (the temperature is very high here recently so it seems to have risen in less than an hour)

12. Prepare the fruit during fermentation. Remove the core of peaches or almonds and cut into thin slices. Dry them with a clean cloth or kitchen paper. The same goes for blueberries. Keep them dry.

13. After the fermentation, divide the dough into two parts, let out the air a little and relax it.

14. Take one of them and roll it into a rectangle

15. Then cut into strips as shown

16. Place the fruits in the middle (the original recipe also sprinkles some sugar on the fruits at this step)

17. Then place the "noodles" on both sides one by one and cross them on the fruit.

18. Close the ends (this shape is usually the shape of puff pastry, I borrowed it, haha), preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius

19. Finally, decorate the surface with fruits (the original recipe also sprinkles some sugar on the surface at this step), and then ferment for 20 to 30 minutes (in fact, because I made two, it is summer and the temperature is high here, and I was taking pictures while making, so basically when the second one is done, I can put the first one into the preheated oven)

20. Bake at 20°C for 25-35 minutes until the surface is golden brown (cover with tin foil if it browns too quickly); take out and continue to bake the second one. After both are baked, place them on a rack to cool slightly before cutting into pieces.

After introducing all the steps of blueberry sweet apricot bread, you must have basically mastered it. So what you need to do next is to do it yourself. Only through continuous practice can you make real delicious food.
