English Muffin Loaves

By: Roberta Freedman 
"Slices of these festive fruit and nut loaves are a terrific breakfast on a cold morning. They have a subtle cornmeal flavor. The best part is that no kneading is required. I serve one loaf right from the oven and freeze the other or give it as a gift. --Roberta Freedman, Mesilla Park, New Mexico"
