Fruity breakfast bread filled with Summer fruits is my entry to WBB #11 which was launched by Nandita from "Saffron Trail".
This month's host is Padmaja from "Spicy Andhra" and the theme is "Summer Fruits".Thanks for hosting Padmaja.
Well...I know it's not Summer for us yet and Spring is still cool!So what do you do with the Theme "Summer fruits"? I went to the store and bought a big can of Tropical fruits and used those fruits to bake a gorgeous and fragrant breakfast bread!:))
It's not very sweet,filled with fruit ,so a slice of bread with a cup of coffee is heavenly in the morning!Hope you try.Makes a great dessert as well:)
A bowl of fruits; Mangoes,Bananas,Grapes,Melon,Pineapple ,Pears and Apple!
Here is a plate for you with a bowl of fruit,a slice fruity bread and steaming cuppa!!:)
How to bake the cake:
Spray with non-stick oil and line the bottom with parchment paper of a 2lb loaf pan.Preheat oven to 350F.In a bowl,mix 1 1/2cups self-rising flour,1/2 tsp baking pd,1/4 tsp salt,3/4 cup sugar well.Add 1 1/2 cups finely chopped mixed fruits and mix well in the dry flour.In another bowl,whisk 2 eggs,5 tbsp Orange juice,2/3 cup Canola oil,well and add to the flour.Mix well gently. 
Pour the batter in to the prepared loaf pan,tap on the counter to release the bubbles.Put in the middle rack in the oven and bake for 45-55 mins or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.Take it out,invert on the cooling rack and peel the parchment paper gently.
Note: Cool completely before slicing with serrated bread knife.If you like icing on top,mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar and few tbsp milk mixed grated rind of an Orange and drizzle on top of the bread when cooled.It's a very tasty, fragrant fruity bread to have for breakfast and icing is not really necessary.
Serve with coffee and a bowl of fruit:
Enjoy the beautiful bread,tastes better next day!

I typed my URL in the Copyscape and found many links to my blogs.Even though they are just links which leads to me,I still would like them to ask me first! These are not bloggers but websites for news,entertainment etc.It is frustrating but what can you do except asking them not to.They probably do not care either.
Dang!! You are going to miss the Queen,once in a life time opportunity!!;P

I shown your snap to my hubby, he was literally surprised to see that snap.This is Ashaji whom you say about to me many times he asked...I said yes yes...I was introducing Trisha and brother all..
Sups,I think somebody should stand behind you to check up on you while you work everyday!!;D
I will check that out.Sounds interesting.I haven't seen Kannada movies for more than 18yrs now!!!When hear some Kannada words now,I don't even remember what it means sometimes!Like I didn't remember what Chow Chow Bhaat was,Mamatha told me it's just Uppittu and Kesari Bhaat combo and I thought "great"!!;D
Usha,thanks girl.Hope you try.
You are "educating" your hubby about Ashaji's family!!Hahaha!!Thank you,you are a sweetheart.Enjoy the day:))

Hi BigS! The bread looks soft and yummy. Like the pinkish color too. At what temperature did you bake the bread? I dont think you have mentioned it. If you have, then I am probably going to get a 'READ before you comment' liner as well! Sia...lets hold hands.....pleeassee
The bread looks so good. Nice combo with the fresh fruit.
Hope you had a good Mother's Day.
Lil S,READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT!!!I am going to spank both of you together!;D
It's in the first paragraph after "HOW TO".This looks more like cake than bread,but lot less sugary sweet to call it a cake!;p Try it.Bet your toddler loves it:)

you don't have any left over.
So I must try!
Good luck to you!
@ashakka,
LOL!!! Me and hema are gonna get good spanking then!!! Is coffee too gonna join our club?;)
@roopa,
I have heard of Amruthadhare which is a remake of “khwahish”(remember? Some 18 smooch scenes there with mallika sherawat in lead?;) anyways, its from eric sehgal’s Love strory which I have read some hundred times. But I do love the songs in that movie… especially “nee amrutadhaare”….
My memory span is just for few hours roopa;) ella begane martu hogatte:) at least I do remember most of the kannada words unline ashkka here;) he he he… I can see ashakka chasing me with a big stick iin her hand;) I better run and hide some where:)
This type of Spring-orange/yellow color in your bread is absolutely adorable!
Deepa,I know many don't come here but these are just for events,so it's okay:))Enjoy.
Coffee,good for you girl.Read before you ask q's or else you will be in line for paddling with Sia and Hema!;P
Roopa,Musical asked me once whether I am going to post Chow Chow bhaat and I had forgotten what it was!:))Now I know.I haven't watched any Kannada movies since I left India in 1989!I have one Raj Kumar(Gandhada Gudi)movie DVD,that's it!I tried that Music site,still not getting it,I will try again:))
You are welcome Aditi.Try it.Hope to see you you again:))
Thank you Raaga(I love your name!) and enjoy:))
Hi Krysyna,thanks girl.YUP!! I guess you have to bake yourself!!;D
Sia,Coffee is smart,dodge the spanking quickly!!:))
Roopa seem to be enjoying the music site there,I still have to try it.Although I haven't seen any Kannada movies,I have loads of Kannada CDs I "sometimes" listen.Sometimes some Kannada words makes me laugh so hard bcos I remember saying that long time ago.
Tushar onde ondu Kannada word kalithu kondiddaane gotta.Nagabeda; He says "Swaamaa"!!;D
(Arvindge sittu bandaga "Soole magane" anta baytaane Tusharna.Yeah,I call Arvind "hogo,baaro,in singular!)
T cannot pronounce it properly in Kannada but he enjoys saying it back to Arvind without knowing what it means like swaamaa!!;P
ROTFL!!!!
Thanks Gattina.That's all I could think of making for the theme "Summer Fruits":)) Tasted great though.
Ooh, Asha, it look like the sun is shining through each piece of your delicious cake! Lovely recipe that I look forward to trying.
Thanks Susan,do try.I am waiting for the Summer too,so I can enjoy fresh Summer fruits:))

Hi Prema,yeah,you can add any nuts you like finely minced,tastes great and healthier too:))
Hi Sush,make it and you will love it:)) Just make sure you drain the fruits well of all the liquid as much as possible.You don't want soggy cake:))
Roopa,thanks.I will try it later:))
Ooh Mona,I remember Tutti frutty buns!:))You can add dry fruits for this cake too.Bakes better.Enjoy:))
Sia,hope nobody else understands that joke I wrote!!We told T what it means in Kannada and he says "mom, dad is cursing you again!!";P
Music; I did that yesterday! I selected all songs to play and it shows lot of ads and keeps on saying "loading" but doesn't play when clicked.I will try again today:)
Asha, this one looks WONDERFUL...I really wish I could taste it too apart from just looking at it :).
Thanks Vini.Unfortunately,they don't have virtual grabbing,orelse I would have grabbed everybody's food!! ;D
wow Asha !! what a lovely breakfast idea..healthy too..its already summer in India..so def gonna try this one ..
Hi Deena,thanks.I heard that India is VERY hot now.Keep it cool.You can add just mangoes in this bread,tastes great too:))
You know what...I was thinking of baking a similar bread...perhaps my simple mind is getting familiar with your great one...I bet that bread must have tasted gorgeous...
Oh come on!! You are a great cook too.No one is better any other blogger!:))
It was very tasty,do try.Post your version too.
Yummy bread. I need to buy some egg substitute to prepare this.
Hi Suma,I never used egg substitute,might work well.It's a small amount anyway:))
hi Asha,
first time commenting on a blog. tried ur fruit bread. it was soooooooooooo good. first time in baking as well:) love ur blog and the wonderful recipes.
a ghost reader:)
Hello ghost reader! Ooops! You are not one anymore!:D
Thanks for commenting, trying and liking the bread.It is so fruity ,isn't it? Love the aroma too.Enjoy.Thank you!:)
Tell me your name next time, and please do leave a comment whenever you can.
hi Asha,
i was just wondering, do u go around with ur laptop around ur neck? or do u have some special "skill" at multi tasking?:)
coz i see u reply to all the comments in ur blog and mostly u r the first one to comment in other blogs too. with all this cooking and photographing and blogging and everything!!!!!!!!!!:)
keep up the FANTASTIC work
luv
sam (the ghost reader)
LOLLL!!! Sam, my laptop is small enough to hang it around the neck the whole day!!!!Nah!! I am kidding!
I start early morning after kids and hubby are out of the house,I moderate,reply and comment for about an hour or more,depending on blogs and then do my daily karma as they say! I am a good organizer,so it's relatively easy!
Thanks for coming back.Salads and soups at FH today,check it out!:)
hi Asha,
just a small query....
is it ok that everytime i make this fruity bread i can leave a comment???? Even if u mind I DONT MIND:)
IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD AND YUMMMMMMMYYYYYYY.
sam
LOL! Sam, go ahead and make my day every time you make it!;D
Enjoy!:))
hello asha ji,
according to your advice, I tried to bake the fruit bread. The taste is really good but it is not standing as a loaf of bread. It has become very much fluffy.The loaf broke itself apart i half when I turned it on to the tray for cooling. Any reasons what I did wrong.
thanks in advance.
Sirisha, it is very light fluffy bread as it is but still holds up a loaf usually. I can't say why you didn't the loaf but next time try cutting down the Baking pd to 1/4 tsp. Sometimes it works to add less to keep the shape.Good luck, don't give up, it is a tasty bread!:))
Thanks a ton asha ji,
I am going to make it again may be tomorrow,by that time i can finish up this one,haa...haa...haa...
i was just thinking if I can try the same bread in the yeast version. can I ? what I have in mind is the taste like the tooty fruity bread in the bakery back in India. Can you just give me your experienced advise on this. Thanks for everything.waiting eagerly for your next post.
Good for you Sirisha, don't wait too long once the dough is mixed, sometimes it starts to puff as soon as baking pd starts to act. Preheat the oven first and then mix ,put the pan in the oven immediately.
Yeast sounds great too,I haven't tried it personally but experiment with it!:)
Thank you Asha ji,
As soon as I try the bread I will let you know the result. Take care of your health and get well soon...we miss you very much.
hi asha
will the bread come good if i dont add eggs ??Is there anything i need to add instead of eggs..?? please reply..
Thanks Sirisha, I am back now after 2 weeks of hiatus!:))
Anon, without eggs it might not be as fluffy and highly risen but in some blogs I have read that adding Apple sauce with help to replace the eggeg. 1 Egg = 2 tbsp of Apple sauce.
Try it, don't know how they come out though and taste great anyway!:))
thank u Asha ji...i will try out with apple sauce..
Good luck, I really hope it works well for you. Let me know. Please leave your first name, so I will recognize you next time!:))
