Let me tell you about this raisin pecan loaf that I baked from my book, New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day (Breadin5). I made our big batch of the Master Recipe using Platinum Yeast from Red Star Yeast, then pulled off a piece of dough, rolled in some raisins and pecans using a French Rolling Pin from JK Adams, let it rest and scored the top with a super sharp Bread Knife from Shun Cutlery just before I baked it in an Emile Henry Cloche. Two days later I took out another piece of dough and rolled in olives and sharp VT cheddar. Five days later I grabbed yet another bit of dough, put it in a proofing basket and baked it as a pure and simple boule. If you have a bucket of dough on hand, you’ll have the base for all of these fantastic loaves.
Raisin Pecan Bread
Find the full recipe below. Want to know more about the equipment I use? My Amazon shop has it all.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to a 1/2″ thick rectangle. Spread the raisins and pecans over the dough, roll it into a log, fold the log into a ball, then knead the dough a bit to distribute the raisins and pecans throughout the dough. Place the ball of dough on a piece of parchment, cover with a large bowl or plastic and let rise for about 90 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 500°F with the cloche in the oven. More on baking in a Cloche here. Sprinkle a bit of flour on the dough, score the bread with the knife and place in the preheated cloche.
Bake for 20 minutes, remove the cover of the cloche, turn down the oven to 450°F and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until deeply browned. Allow to cool completely before serving.
Slice and add butter!
