If you're not using a bread maker to make your dough and you're not familiar with making yeast breads, check out our bread making primer first.

For mixing in a mixer or by hand:
Sprinkle yeast over warm water. Mix in fruits, egg whites and butter. Sift together dry ingredients, stir in nuts. Mix dry ingredients into dough and mix and knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled. Punch dough down. (See general bread making instructions.)

Regardless of whether you're using a bread machine or hand mixing, pick up the instructions here.

Preheat oven to 425° F. Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch rectangular pan.

After dough cycle on the bread machine or after your dough has been through one rising if hand mixing, knead dough an additional 2-5 minutes and shape to fit in loaf pan. Sprinkle the reserved 2 T nuts on top of bread. Bake 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. After baking, remove bread from pan and cool on a wire rack.
