1. Measure all ingredients (except Glaze) exactly and place in bread machine pan in the order that the bread machine manufacturer suggests, reserving 1 teaspoon of the baby food for Glaze. To measure flour, spoon into standard dry-ingredient measuring cup and level with a knife. To measure liquids, use transparent glass or plastic cups designed for measuring liquids; check measurement at eye level.

2. Add apricots and almonds at the time of the raisin/nut beep or 10 to 15 minutes after kneading starts. For Panasonic/National machines, add apricots and almonds during the rest following the first knead, about 20 to 25 minutes after the starting time.

3. Select regular or rapid bake cycle. Prepare Glaze (below); drizzle onto cooled loaf.
