• Pour into a greased loaf pan form.
• Bake for 30 minutes at 300°F Increase heat after 30 minutes to 360 F (180 C) and bake for another 30 minutes.
• Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick. If toothpick comes out clean bread is ready.
• Let cool in form for about 10 minutes. Then remove from form and let cool completely.
• Wrap into aluminum foil and store at least overnight.
• NOTE: rye flour can be replaced by unbleached wheat flour. You can also use whole wheat flour or whole spelt flour.
• NOTE: instead of dried currants and raisins you can use raisins only. You can also use other dried fruit of your own choice.
• NOTE: the bread can be stored tightly wrapped in aluminum foil and in a zip lock bag for weeks. In the beginning of December I make the Früchtebrot for Christmas. The taste is getting better with storage time.

LOW SUGAR BREAD WITH DRIED FRUIT AND NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Prepare a loaf pan by buttering the inside of it. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit along the bottom of the pan and up the ends.
• Fit the paper inside. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, spoon the plain yogurt.
• Separately, in a small bowl, mix the eggs with a fork. Add them to the yogurt, together with sunflower oil and vanilla, and mix everything with a fork.
• In a large bowl, place all dry ingredients: dried fruit, nuts, seeds, flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix.
• Pour the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients.
• Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to mix everything. Spoon the mixture into the baking pan prepared earlier.
• Bake the bread for about 40-45 minutes or until golden and risen. Test the bread with a skewer or a toothpick in the middle. It should come out clean.
• Leave the loaf to cool down and remove it from the pan by pulling the ends of the parchment paper.
