Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 50 minutes

for a loaf pan

Roughly chop the walnuts and mix thoroughly with the two types of flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Make a small well in the mixture. Add the figs and honey, and then pour in the water. Knead the dough thoroughly for about 10 minutes. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 30 minutes. Then preheat the oven to 250°C (top/bottom heat). Lightly grease a loaf pan and crumble in the oats. Spread them evenly in the pan so the flakes stick evenly. You can skip this step and use baking paper instead. I like the oats because they look and taste great. After the dough has risen, knead it again and spread it evenly in the pan, then bake for 10 minutes at 250°C (top/bottom heat). The bread may need one or more slits to ensure it rises evenly and doesn’t split unsightly, unless that’s your preference. Bake for the next 50 minutes at 190°C (375°F) until done. The bread goes well with strong cheese, but it’s also delicious simply spread with butter.
