--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                          Unsalted butter -- nonstick cooking spray, 
for the pan
    2               cups  all-purpose flour -- gluten-free
    2          teaspoons  baking powder
       3/4      teaspoon  xanthan gum
       1/2      teaspoon  baking soda
       1/4      teaspoon  table salt
       2/3           cup  chopped dried apricots
    2              large  eggs
    1                cup  granulated sugar
       3/4           cup  vegetable oil
    3        tablespoons  freshly squeezed orange juice
    1           teaspoon  pure vanilla extract
    2          teaspoons  grated orange zest


Make a wonderful addition to quick breads for their flavor and 
texture. A touch of orange is a great pairing with apricots and 
enhances their flavor.

Heat the oven to 350F. Grease a 4-1/2 x 8-1/2" loaf pan with unsalted 
butter or nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, xanthan 
gum, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Stir in the dried 
apricots. Make a well in the center and set aside.

In a medium bowl, using a wire whisk, lightly beat the eggs. Add the 
sugar and whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in the oil until well 
blended. Whisk in the orange juice and vanilla. Stir in the orange zest.

Pour the liquid mixture into the well in the center of the flour 
mixture and stir until combined. Spoon the batter evenly into the 
prepared loaf pan.

Bake until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in the center 
comes out clean, 50 to 60 min. Remove the pan from the oven and 
immediately remove the bread from the pan. Turn the loaf on its side 
and let cool on a wire rack.

Yields one 4-1/2 x 8-1/2" loaf

TIP:
Use moist dried apricots. If your apricots are very dry, soak the 
chopped fruit in a few tablespoons of orange juice for 30 min before 
making the bread. Drain the apricots well before using.
