Bread recipes with fruit and nuts require a longer baking time than you may be used to because of the amount of dried fruit. The fruit releases moisture and the bread will be soggy if not cooked long enough. For the best crust, bake in a ceramic bread crock or a covered clay baker.

To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have dried fruit crusty bread using 9 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Dried Fruit Crusty Bread:
  1. Get 200 grams ●Bread (strong) flour
  2. Take 50 grams ●Whole wheat flour
  3. Make ready 3 grams Dried yeast
  4. Take 5 grams Salt
  5. Get 7 grams Sugar
  6. Make ready 50 grams Walnuts
  7. Get 60 grams Raisins
  8. Make ready 30 grams Candied orange peel
  9. Take 170 ml Water

Using a sharp knife, cut off a third of the dough. Cranberries: Dried cranberries (or raisins!) are best for this wet dough. I haven't tried this bread with fresh or frozen cranberries. Parchment Paper: If your parchment paper can only be heated to a certain temperature, bake the bread at that temperature.

Instructions to make Dried Fruit Crusty Bread:
  1. Pour hot water over the raisins and drain in a sieve. Lightly roast then finely chop the walnuts. Mix the ingredients marked ● together in a bowl.
  2. Add the salt, sugar, yeast and water to the bowl from Step 1. When finished kneading, add the fruits and walnuts, and mix into the dough.
  3. Allow to rise until twice the original size, then divide into 5 portions, shape into rounds, and let sit for 20 minutes. Reshape them as you like, and allow to rise for a second time.
  4. Make small cuts in the surface and spray lots of water on top. Preheat the oven to 230℃, lower to 210℃, and bake for 15 - 18 minutes.

Bake the bread a little longer to compensate for the lower temperature. Turn slices so both sides dry evenly. Then I blitz these chunks in a food processor. I might add a tad bit more salt next time, but that's just personal taste. I had to freeze the last few slices or was afraid I would have devoured the entire loaf.
