  • Contains: alcohol, gluten, nut, sulphite

Ingredients

  • 12 g Dried pears (Kletzen)
  • 8 g Dried figs
  • 8 g Prunes
  • 8 g Raisins
  • 4 g Candied orange and lemon peel
  • 5 g Walnuts
  • 3 g Hazelnuts
  • 3 g Rum
  • 0.3 g Cinnamon
  • 0.05 g Ground cloves
  • 0.1 g Anise seed
  • 8 g Rye flour
  • 8 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 0.5 g Yeast, fresh
  • 8 g Water
  • 2 g Sugar
  • 0.2 g Salt

Method

  1. Cut the dried pears, figs and prunes into small pieces and mix them with the raisins, candied peel, rum, cinnamon, cloves and anise. Cover and leave to soak for 1 hour (or overnight), stirring now and then.
  2. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water, add the rye and wheat flours and the salt, and knead for 5 minutes into a soft, sticky dough. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour.
  3. Coarsely chop the walnuts and hazelnuts. Knead them and the soaked fruit with its juices into the dough; there is far more fruit than dough, which only binds it.
  4. With wet hands shape it into a long, narrow loaf about 5 cm high, set it on a tray lined with baking paper, cover and leave for 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 180 °C.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes until firm and dark brown, brushing the top with a little hot water halfway through for a shiny crust.
  6. Cool completely on a rack, then wrap it and keep it for at least a day before cutting it into thin slices.
