SUCCESS TIP
We found from our testing that the same amount of yeast is needed for both the 1 1/2-pound and 2-pound loaves.

SUCCESS TIP
If your bread machine doesn't have a Raisin/Nut signal, add the apricots 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.

SUCCESS TIP
Sugar helps to brown the crust of baked foods. Because dried apricots have a high amount of sugar, we recommend using a medium or light crust setting so the crust doesn't become too dark during baking.
