You all know my love for baking bread at home from my array of bread post in my blog. So far i have tried 100% Whole Wheat Bread, White Bread, Multi Grain Bread. And i went a little fancy and made a Homemade Panettone & Focaccia Bread. So far everything turned out so beautiful and they all been my favorite ones.
But my hunger quest for bread making didn’t end there, i couldn’t stop baking my own bread which led me to bake my very own Sweet fruit Bread. OMG is the only thing i could say to you. Because this bread turned out to be so soft and fluffy.
