Jump To :

INGREDIENTS

For a 11 x 25 cm loaf tin:

300 g dried fruit (e.g. apricots, figs, cranberries, dates)
200 g nuts as desired (e.g. hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, pecan nuts, walnuts)
450 ml lukewarm water
20 g fresh yeast
400 g wholemeal wheat flour
250 g wheat flour (type 550)
20 g salt
Butter and flour for the tin
Flour for kneading

HOW TO MAKE IT

Step 1/5

Finely dice the dried fruit. Add the selected nuts to a fat-free frying pan and roast briefly before chopping roughly. Add the lukewarm water to a bowl. Crumble the yeast into the water while stirring until it dissolves.

Step 2/5

Mix the flour and salt together. Gradually add small amounts to the yeast water while using the dough hook on a handheld blender to knead it well. Now also add the diced dried fruit and chopped nuts and knead them in.

Step 3/5

Cover the dough and allow to prove in a warm place for an hour.

Step 4/5

Meanwhile, grease the loaf tin and dust with flour. Prepare a workspace with flour. Use this to form the risen dough into a ball before placing it in the loaf tin. Cover the dough again and leave to prove for another 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan assisted).

Step 5/5

Bake the bread on the bottom shelf for around 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for a quarter of an hour. Tip the loaf out onto a cake rack and leave to cool completely.
