Baking bread on a cold winter’s day is a good way to bring some warmth and cheer into the kitchen. Not only do we get to taste the delicious result, but the wonderful aroma fills the home and enhances the feeling of well being and coziness. This being the week before Christmas, making a fruit bread just seems like the right thing to do. With all the boys back home, sweet breads are wildly popular and may not even make it to Christmas day.

Sweet Breads for the Holidays

Every Christmas, I would make some sweet bread for the occasion. Listed below are some that I have made in past years.
• Potica (Slovenian Nut Roll)
• Lemon, Pistachio, and Feta Strudel

Mixed Fruit Braid with Dried Fruit Filling

This year I have decided to make this Mixed Fruit Braid which have not made in a while. The filling may not always be the same as I use whatever dried fruits and preserves I have on hand. This time round I combined golden raisins, dried cranberries, crystallized ginger, and walnuts with blackberry jam. It turned out to be quite delicious!

This sweet bread is delicious on its own or with some butter spread on it. Makes a wonderful breakfast or tea time treat!

    How did I miss this lovely recipe?!? I miss making bread, and wanted to do stollen for christmas but was short of time. Your pictures make it look easy, though the finished loaf looks beautiful and complicated to make. I might try making this stuffed with my favourite dried fruit and marzipan instead of the more difficult stollen 🙂
