Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This is crucial for optimal texture and flavor. (2 hours)
For a richer flavor, try using toasted oats. Simply spread the oats on a baking sheet and toast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant.
If you don't have orange juice on hand, you can substitute with water, but the orange juice adds a lovely citrus note that complements the apricots.
Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise. You can test its activity by mixing it with a little warm water and sugar; it should foam up within 5-10 minutes.
Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
