Cooking Advice

Directions
Pour the water, olive oil, and salt into one side of your bread machine. Then, add about a third of the chopped apricots on top of the liquid, followed by 2 cups of flour. Sprinkle some more apricots in the middle of the flour, and finish by adding the remaining flour and apricots on top. This layering helps the apricots mix in better, especially if your bread machine isn’t super powerful. Set your machine to the French loaf setting for a 2-pound loaf and let it do its thing, which usually takes around 3 and a half hours. When the cycle is finished, take the bread out and let it cool before slicing.
Perfect Side Pairings
Enjoy this bread warm with butter or cream cheese. It also pairs nicely with soft cheeses like brie or goat cheese. Try it alongside soups or salads for a flavorful boost.
Leftover Storage Guide
Store the bread in a paper bag or bread box to keep the crust crisp. If you want to keep it longer, wrap it tightly and freeze it. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
