Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Milk
• 0.75 cups Water
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.75 teaspoons Salt
• 2.5 cups Bread flour
• 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.5 cups Chopped cashews
• 0.5 cups Chopped dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or apricots)

Directions

Step 1

1. Place the milk, water, egg, and melted butter into the bread maker pan, ensuring the liquid ingredients are at room temperature.

Step 2

2. Add the sugar and salt to the pan.

Step 3

3. Carefully add the bread flour on top of the liquid ingredients, ensuring it covers the liquids completely.

Step 4

4. Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant yeast. Avoid letting the yeast touch any wet ingredients.

Step 5

5. Start the bread machine on the 'Dough' setting. This typically takes about 90 minutes but may vary depending on your machine.

Step 6

6. Once the dough starts mixing, check its consistency after about 5 minutes. If it seems sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it forms a smooth dough. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.

Step 7

7. When the machine signals to add extra ingredients, or after about 10 minutes into mixing, add the chopped cashews and dried fruit.

Step 8

8. Once the dough cycle finishes, remove the dough from the machine and shape it as desired for rolls, loaves, or braids.

Step 9

9. Allow the shaped dough to rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes or until it doubles in size before baking.

Step 10

10. Bake the dough in a preheated oven (temperature and timing will depend on your chosen shape, typically 350°F for 20-35 minutes) until golden brown and cooked through.
