The bill

Fruit and walnut bread

  • 250 g of rye flour, type 1150$2.20
  • 250 g of plain white flour, type 1050 (Purists use rye flour)$0.33
  • 1 box of baking powder (this helps a little, as the dough is quite heavy)$0.09
  • 6 eggs$2.09
  • 250 g of brown sugar or 150g of honey$0.28
  • A packet of vanilla sugar$0.06
  • 200 g of walnuts, dried plums, and dried figs$3.57
  • 50 g of dried apricots$0.78
  • 100 g of grapes (Sultan grapes and regular grapes)$0.41
  • Juice and zest of a lemon$0.28
  • 200 g of roughly chopped, peeled hazelnuts$3.52
  • 200 g of roughly chopped, peeled almonds$1.84
  • 100 g of whole, peeled almonds (for decoration)$0.92
  • A pinch of ground anise seeds, cinnamon, and cloves$0.47
  • To remove the skin from the almonds, they are soaked in boiling water, and then they can be pressed to extract the almonds.$1.10
  • The hazelnuts are spread out on a griddle and placed in an oven at 60 degrees. However, it is important to ensure that they do not brown. After a certain time, the shells begin to crack. You can help this process by rubbing the hazelnuts together in a dishcloth. If the hazelnuts are too old, this method is no longer as effective.$1.23
  • Quince apples are less suitable, as they are too soft.$4.94
