Best commercial fruitcake in our opinion is the Soouthern Supreme one,
out of Bear Creek, NC. They're a bit pricey but they're so much better than the Claxton out of GA or Collins Street from TX. We picked up a
small (one pound) one this year down in Raleigh but have gone out to
Bear Creek so we could order gift baskets for family. (It's a nice
drive frrom our area.) While there, we've picked up a fruitcake for ourselves, usually some other goodies also.

I'm not a big fan of fruitcake as fruitcake. Much prefer another
holiday tradition with fruit and nuts included. I've made this one a
few times. But not lately. It's some work and all of the folks I used
to gift with (it except for a couple) have fallen off their twigs.

I buy a very good version from my local Hy-Vee or from Incredibly Delicious Bakery/Cafe. www.incrediblydelicious.com

I did that a few times, but then found it just as easy to buy premade.
Not quite as good as home made but with weak wrists, it saved me from having to knead. No, of course, the KA mixer would do a fast job of
that step.

Or, as I generally do, use the bread machine on "Dough cycle" which is even easier. I can't remember, with clarity, the last time I let the machine go completely through and actually bake the loaf. Bv)=

I'm going to do that soon, need to replenish my bread crumb supply.
I've not been making bread for a while so my supply of crumbs has diwindled to the point where it needs replenishing. I'm not going to
buy white bread crumbs either.

If you're making crumbs let the bread machine go all the way. No sense
in running the oven for something that doesn't need to be "pretty".
Panko are the only bread crumbs that I buy. Regular crumbs camefrom DD> stale bread that hasn't started a penecillin crop. Bv)=

I do, that loaf isn't "for pretty"--just gets cut up, dried and cubes
run thru the blender to crumb.

I only buy panko also but regular crumbs come only from my home made
100% whole wheat bread, nothing artificial added.

Sounds like we're on the same page. Except I buy more bread than I
bake.
When I do msake it it's usually pretty good.

I've been doing that the last few years for various reasons. Latest one
is that the right hand has something going on with it--not sure if it's
a major arthritis flare or carpal tunnel but I'm seeing the hand specialist on the 16th. Right now it's hard doing anything requiring a grip.

That looks good to me but Steve doesn't like siracha so I'll have to
take a pass on it.

What doesn't he like? The chilies? Or the garlic? Or the vinegar?
Here's a cheesy bread that I "made up". These days I let the bread
machine make the dough. Then, depending on the final use either put it
in loaf pans or form baguettes or French/Italian loaves on a sheet
pan.

Title: Rustic Italian Cheese Bread
Categories: Breads, Herbs, Cheese
Yield: 12 Servings
1 c Warm water; 125-|F/52-|C
2 tb Olive oil
3 c Unbleached flour
2 ts Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Italian seasoning mix
1/4 ts Garlic granules
1 Packet cheese mix from a box
- of generic Mac & Cheese.
1 pk Active dry yeast
Cornmeal
1 Egg white; beaten
Place ingredients except cornmeal & egg white in bread
machine pan according to manufacturer's directions.
Process on dough setting.
Sprinkle ungreased cookie sheet with cornmeal. At end
of dough cycle, remove dough from machine; place on a
lightly floured surface. Punch down dough (If dough
is sticky, knead in additional flour before shaping).
Shape dough into baguette-shaped loaf about 12" long.
Place loaf on cornmeal-coated sheet. Cover; let rise
in warm place, 80-85-|F/27-29-|C, for 20-25 minutes or
until light and doubled in size.
Or you can use a regular 9" X 5" loaf pan(s).
Heat oven to 375-|F/190-|C. With a sharp knife, make
one deep lengthwise slash in top of loaf. Brush loaf
with egg white.
Bake for 25-35 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow
when lightly tapped.
Makes one 12 slice loaf.
NOTE: You can also let the bread machine do the baking
for you - but the loaf won't look "rustic". It will, of
course, taste just as good. - UDD
