1In a bowl mix flour, salt, sugar, powdered milk,and yeast . In another bowl ,mix milk and roux well . Now add the flour mixture , mix well . Add melted butter. Knead the dough well until it is smooth and elastic . Form the dough into a ball , oil the dough and place it in a well oiled bowl . Cover with a cling film and let it rise . Once it is double, gently knead and add chopped fruits . Using a rolling pin , roll it into a rectangle . Roll the dough into log shape and place the dough into a loaf tin for the second rise . Pre heat the oven at 180°c . I used a 8" × 3.5" loaf tin . Cover the loaf tin with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes . Take the bread out . Remove aluminum foil and egg wash or apply milk for the color and bake for another 5 more minutes . Once done apply butter liberally . Allow the bread to cool for at least for 4-5 hrs before slicing .
