-------- ------------ --------------------------------
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.
