Wonderful recipe! May I ask, when a person adds fruit to the bread dough can I add golden raisins, and darker raisins, and dried appricots that have been soaked in rum or juice overnight? I would also like to add dried and candied lemon and orange peel. At what stage should I add these items? Also how much of each item should I incorporate?I just have one more question. Is it ok to add almond extract, and if so can I add it in along with the vanilla? You made this seem pretty easy and I think that I can do it.
