Note

Self-rising flour can be homemade by mixing 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons baking powder, 0.5 teaspoons salt, and 0.25 teaspoons baking soda.

For the dried fruit, you can use raisins, chopped apricots, cranberries, or a mix of any dried fruits you have on hand.

The granola can be substituted with muesli, homemade granola, high-fiber commercial granola, or even plain rolled oats for a simpler texture.

This bread is best served warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with butter, jam, or nut butter.
