- Comments: This rich, dark, and hearty bread is ideal for breakfast Christmas morning or possibly during the holiday season. It is not only a welcome change from yeast breads, it can be a pleasant reminder of the bounty of summer fruits in the middle of winter. For this recipe, use 1 c. each of the four dry fruits of your choice. Try to buy unsulphured dry fruit, available at natural food stores, as it has more flavor and none of the chemical preservatives and many people are allergic to sulphur. This bread keeps, wrapped and refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.
