I made Joe's very yummy and beautiful Fig Rye bread

[melissa-dallas]

It looked like it came from a fancy bakery and is so good. I did the dough in my kitchenaid mixer. I just lightly stirred the dry ingredients into the wet then let it stand about ten minutes before kneading with the dough hook. Finished by hand. I think next time I might turn it into raisin rye by adding about a 1/4 cup of brown sugar and some cinnamon & chopped toasted walnuts instead of using figs. Dates would be good too. Thanks Joe!http://eat.at/swap/forum/index.php?action=display&forumid=1&msgid=2057

You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Try a slice with some blue cheese.

I just had a piece with some goat cheese. I also want to make a piece of cinnamon toast with it.

I love this bread so much I now include it in gift baskets. Thanks, again, Joe!

this may sound weird, but I have made this with prunes as well.
