3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup maple-flavored syrup
1 tablespoon margarine or butter, softened
3 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine or quick active dry yeast
1/2 cup cut-up dried peaches
Make 1 ½ Pound Recipe with bread machines that use 3 cups flour, or make 2 Pound Recipe with bread machines that use 4 cups flour.
Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except peaches in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Add peaches at the Raisin/Nut signal.
Select Sweet or Basic/White cycle. Use Light crust color. Remove baked bread from pan, and cool on wire rack.
SUCCESS TIP: If your bread machine doesn't have a Raisin/Nut signal, add the peaches 5 to 10 minutes before the last kneading cycle ends. Check your bread machine's use-and-care book to find out how long the last cycle runs.
TRY THIS: Can't find dried peaches? Dried apricots also would taste good in this bread since their flavor goes so well with the hint of maple flavoring and nutmeg found in this bread.
