Fruit Breads

For the fruit loaves, sift the flour into a preheated baking bowl. Make a hollow in the center and pour in the finely crumbled yeast. Sprinkle with sugar and add a cup of lukewarm milk.

Stir until the yeast has dissolved, then dust with a little flour. Cover the baking dish and keep it warm for 20 minutes.

After this time, cover the risen pre-dough with flour, sprinkle the salt over the flour, add the butter in flakes and the beaten egg. Slowly add the remaining lukewarm milk and prepare the whole thing into a firm dough.

Meanwhile, knead the dough until it is smooth and comes away clean from the baking bowl. Cover the baking bowl repeatedly and let the dough rise in the same place for 75 minutes.

Soak pears and plums in cold water the day before. Simmer with the soaking water for 20 minutes, drain and put through a meat grinder. Mix coarsely chopped nuts, the raisins previously soaked in cherry or possibly plum water, sugar and spices into the fruit puree. Knead in 1/3 of the dough.

Shape the mixture into oblong loaves.

Roll out remaining dough, cut into rectangles, then wrap fruit loaves in them. Fold the ends well over each other. Place on large baking sheets with the seal facing down. Prick with a fork or pastry wheel to decorate. Let rise in warm place (35 °C) for about 1 hour.

Then brush with beaten egg and bake in heated
