Fig and Walnut Bread With Rye Flour
- 200 grams French bread strong flour (I used Lys d'Or brand)
- 50 grams Rye flour
- 1 1/2 grams Malt powder (optional)
- 5 grams Salt
- 5 grams Sugar
- 170 grams Water
- 3 grams Dry yeast
- 60 grams Walnuts
- 80 grams Dried figs
- Chop up the walnuts and dried figs roughly.
- Put the ingredients starting from the strong French bread flour up to the dry yeast in the ingredient list into a bowl, and mix with a spatula or cooking chopsticks until it comes together as one mass.
- When the dough comes together, take it out onto a work surface and knead well for about 12 minutes.
- When it barely sticks to the work surface anymore and forms a slightly rough film of gluten, it's done.
- Press the dough out flat.
- Add the chopped walnuts and figs from step 1 and wrap them up in the dough.
- Knead for a few more minutes to distribute the nuts and figs into the dough .
- Form the dough into a ball, and put it into a lightly greased bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise until it has doubled in volume (1st rising).
- For me it took 30 minutes at 40C.
- When it has finished rising, take it out onto a lightly dusted work surface and deflate.
- Divide into 12 portions and round off each.
- Leave to rest for 15 minutes.
- Round off each ball of dough again, and line them up on a baking sheet.
- Leave to rise again until they are 1.5 to 2 times their original size.
- For me it took 30 minutes at 40C.
- Dust the surface with bread flour using a tea strainer.
- Slash the tops if you would like.
- Bake in a preheated 210C oven for 15 to 17 minutes.
- These rolls are chewier if you let them rest a bit before eating them.
- From the next day on, the rolls will become nice and soft if you heat them up in the microwave.
- You can eat them as-is too of course.
