FIG BREAD
Adapted from Cook Now Serve Later Cookbook, this is a good tasting bread! You can substitute apricots, raisins, dates, etc. for the figs for variation. I have also halved this recipe and baked 45 minutes in a mini loaf pan. Enjoy!

LIGHTER SOUTHERN FIG BREAD
This fig bread can either be made in a bundt pan or as a loaf or miniature loaves. It is a very versatile recipe so please feel free to experiment by tossing in any other types of nuts or fruits (i.e. dates, raisins, and/or walnuts) to spice it up to your liking. What makes this a "Southern" recipe are the spices that are used. Figs are indigenous to this area (Louisiana) but dried figs would work just as well. If you are to use dried figs, I would definitely soak them (like you would raisins) for about an hour or more to "puff them out." Note: Dependent on the baking vessel of your choice, the cooking times will vary. Rule of thumb: Bake until a toothpick or knife is inserted into the center and comes out clean. Do not over bake or the "bread/cake" will come out dry. Also, don't forget to grease and lightly flour your baking dish so that the pastry comes out easily when removed after baking. Let the baking dish fully cool before "dumping out."

FIG AND RAISIN BREAD
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.

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.
