Ingredients for Christmas Fruit Nut Bread Recipe
All Purpose Flour / Maida :
Maida requires more oil or butter when baking or cooking because it is lighter and rises faster, which is why bakers prefer maida to atta. All-purpose flour can be used for a variety of tasks, including baking, cooking, coating meats and vegetables, and thickening sauces and gravies. To manufacture all-purpose flour, a blend ofhard wheat (which has more gluten) and soft wheat is crushed together.
Cashews :
Cashews contain a lot of starch, which will thicken sauces just like flour and potatoes do. The use of cashews over flour, for example, has the advantage of adding a lot of flavour to the sauce.
Raisins :
Raisins are dried grapes. These are grown in many parts of the world and can be eaten raw or cooked, baked, or brewed.
Tutti fruity :
Tutti frutti is a brightly coloured confectionery made up of various chopped and usually candied fruits, or an artificial or natural flavouring that simulates the combined flavour of many different fruits. Pin
