Ingredients:

1/2 cup raisins

1/3 cup dark rum

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 2 teaspoons for dusting the pan

2 cups whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1/2 cup pecans, toasted and roughly chopped

1 1/2 cups plain yogurt

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon milk

3/4 teaspoon anise seeds (optional) (Sesame seeds or rolled oats are nice substitutes, if you're not an anise lover.)

Equipment:

sauce pan

oven

baking paper

baking sheet

mixing bowl

whisk

bowl

knife

toothpicks

wire rack

Cooking instruction summary:

Combine the rum and raisins in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 seconds, then remove from heat. Cover and allow the raisins to macerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. When youre ready to bake the bread, preheat the oven to 375F. Coat a baking sheet with olive oil and lightly dust it with flour, or line it with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flours, baking soda, salt, and rosemary. Stir in the toasted pecans. In a separate bowl combine the raisins with the rum, the yogurt, and honey. Add the wet ingredients to the dry. Mix until the dough is too stiff to stir. Use your hands to bring it together in the bowl. Add additional yogurt one teaspoon at a time if its too dry. You want a stiff, slightly tacky ball. Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and shape into a round loaf. (Dont over-knead the dough. Too much kneading will produce a tough bread.). Transfer the loaf to the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to make deep slashes across the top of the loaf, 4-6 cuts about half way through. Brush the top with milk. Sprinkle with seeds or oats if using. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. When you tap the loaf, it will sound hollow. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature with a generous slather of butter.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
