adding fruit to basic bread

[Greyhoundmum]

Hi I want to try  fruit bread.it says inEDC you can add fruitin last few seconds of kneading, doesn't say anything about adding sugar, does anyone know how much sugar I would add and when or is the fruit sweet enough already?

I often find fruit already sweet enough but if you are going to add some sugar (or honey/maple syrup) you can do that already at the start so it dissolves nicely in the dough. Sometimes I add one or two table spoons. If you add too much sugar it will interfere with the yeast.

Try Chookie's fruit loaf. It is really nice. There are 2 of them. One with walnut oil and another you can cook in the bread machine. This can be done in the oven too.
