Double Apricot Bread -1 lb Bread Machine Recipe

This Double Apricot Bread is a great way to use up some extra dried apricots. It's fragrant and slightly sweet, and perfect toasted with some peanut butter for breakfast:@) This is a hybrid recipe, I started with my favorite Panettone and added elements from Hodgson Mill's Absolutely Apricot Bread. I love these recipes that call for an egg, they really make a nice hearty loaf of bread. Don't hesitate to give this a try folks, I think you'll like it!

 In case you're wondering, yep, I am still loving my mini one pound Zojirushi bread machine. 

I use it at least every other week and some times twice a week!
