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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until firm and dark brown, brushing the top with a little hot water halfway through for a shiny crust.
- Cool completely on a rack, then wrap it and keep it for at least a day before cutting it into thin slices.
