Fig and Raisin Bread image

This simple recipe yields a nice, rustic, crusty bread. Measurements are in cups instead of by weight because this is more about the ratio than the exact weight measurement.

Time 5h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ tablespoon active dry yeast
1 ½ cups warm water
1 tablespoon white sugar, or more as needed
3 ¼ cups bread flour
¾ tablespoon salt
1 cup raisins
5 large dried figs, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon cornmeal for dusting, or as needed

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar to activate yeast. Add bread flour; sprinkle salt on top. Pour in raisins and figs; mix well.
  • Knead dough for about 10 minutes. Place in a large glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Pick up the side of the dough that's farthest from you and fold it inward, about 3/4 of the way across. Fold the last quarter of the dough all the way back over the far side, creating batard, or torpedo, shape. Press down on the seam with the side of your palm to seal it.
  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Sprinkle some cornmeal over the dough and cover loosely; let proof for 45 minutes. Sprinkle more cornmeal onto a baking sheet; flip dough onto the sheet so the seam side faces up. Use a scoring tool or serrated knife to cut a few slashes into the top of the dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, about 20 minutes. Let the loaf cool for at least 30 minutes, as it will continue to cook when it comes out of the oven.

WHOLE WHEAT APRICOT RAISIN BREAD

A recipe from a bag of Bob's Red Mill whole wheat flour. Yum! Great for tea! Don't get freaked out by the preparation time--most of it is the apricots soaking in milk, and they can do that all by themselves while you go on with life.

APRICOT BREAD

This is my most asked-for recipe. I've used it for many years, which is obvious from my recipe card that's yellowed and full of stains. The fruity appearance and taste of this easy-to-make bread blend beautifully with our warm Florida sunshine. It's always a hit whenever I serve it.

Time 3h5m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup milk
1/3 cup butter
2 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 3/4 cups flour
2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast
1 cup chopped dried apricot
1/4 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Heat cold milk for 30 seconds in the microwave; hold eggs under tap water for a minute to warm.
  • Add ingredients according to your manufacturer's directions.
  • Set Cycle: Sweet, Size, 2lb.
  • After about 5 minutes, check your dough: Add a tablespoon of water if too dry, or a tablespoon of flour if too wet, until dough is smooth.
  • Alternatively, set cycle to dough, take dough out and shape as desired.
  • I like to divide the dough in half, then divide each half into three, roll into ropes and braid, joining the dough ends together to create a braided circle.
  • Leave to rise until doubled, bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
