Absolutely, Kimberly! Adding brown sugar will give your sweet bread a lovely caramel-like flavor and extra sweetness. Here's how you can adjust the recipe: ### Ingredients: - 1 cup of warm water (about 110°F or 45°C) - 2 large eggs - 1/4 cup of melted butter - 1/4 cup of **brown sugar** (in addition to the original sugar) - 1/4 cup of **white sugar** - 1 teaspoon of salt - 4 cups of all-purpose flour - 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast (1 packet) - 1 cup of mixed fruit cake fruit (chopped if large pieces) ### Instructions: 1. **Add Ingredients to the Bread Machine**: Start by adding the warm water, eggs, and melted butter to the bread machine pan. 2. **Mix Dry Ingredients**: In a separate bowl, mix the white sugar, brown sugar, salt, and flour. Add this mixture to the bread machine pan. 3. **Add Yeast**: Make a small well in the flour mixture and add the yeast. Avoid letting the yeast touch the liquid ingredients directly. 4. **Set the Bread Machine**: Select the "Sweet Bread" cycle or the "Basic" cycle if your machine doesn’t have a sweet bread option. Set the crust color to medium. 5. **Add Fruit**: Add the fruit cake fruit when the machine signals for add-ins, usually about 5-10 minutes into the kneading cycle. If your machine doesn’t have this feature, you can add the fruit at the beginning, but be aware it might get a bit mixed into the dough. 6. **Bake and Enjoy**: Let the machine do its magic. Once the cycle is complete, remove the bread from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack. The brown sugar will add a delightful depth of flavor to your bread.
