Sig's "Hutzelbrot" from Germany

Hutzel is a German word for dried fruit. In and around Stuttgart the Hutzelmännchen is a little man made out of dried fruit. People think of this as a little imp playing tricks that perhaps thought of the bread in the first place.
It is a very fruity bread more like cake and served with just butter is great with afternoon coffee or tea.

Steps
- 1
Soak your dried large fruit (for soaking) only overnight, with just enough water to cover them
- 2
In the morning chop the soaked fruit into smaller pieces. Set aside the soaking water , keep in fridge for brushing the bread later.
- 3
Make a well into the flour. Heat a little of the water from soaking and work your yeast into the flour as per direction depending if you use dried or fresh yeast . Make a dough. Stand into a warm draught free place to let it rise
- 4
In the meantime chop the figs into smaller pieces. Once the dough has risen work in all of the ingredients , do not over knead.
- 5
Dust this dough with a little flour and let it rise again in a draught free warm place until it shows a few breaks in the dough
- 6
Shape the dough into small bread pieces, I make four , leave to stand overnight again in the draught free place.

The next morning bake at 200 C for about 90 minutes
- 8
Brush with some of the soaking water and leave to stand for a day or two.
