Fruit bread

The quantities here are inspired by my dear mother's fruit cake, which is only about 5% cake (her disdain for fruit is outweighed by her abomination of cake). Contains: prunes, apricots, sultanas, pistachios, sunflower seeds, almonds, orange peel, cinnamon, and cranberries.

"Mediterranean flavours bread"

When we were little, my cousin and I would hollow out a loaf of italian bread and fill it up with exotic things to make "pizza bread". Now that I have a bread-gadget, I tried something similar (the recipe is based on that in the Breville recipe book). I think it would be better with an even greater proportion of fillings than is shown here. The pesto was probably wasted: it seemed to disappear. I could imagine also adding spring onions, capers, oregano or (for the adventurous) anchovies.

Good toasted and spread with butter.
