Ingredients
2 gigantic or 3 medium apples (I used honey crisp), peeled, cored and diced1 tbsp butter, melted1 tsp raw sugar1 cup 12 grain flour1 cup rye flour2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour1/2 tsp cardamom1/4 tsp ground ginger1/2 tsp cinnamon1 tsp salt1 tsp instant yeast1 cup room temperature water 3/4 cup room temperature low fat milk3 tbsp maple syrup1/2 cup pumpkin seeds5 dried figs, diced and soaked in hot water (drained)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F and lightly grease a casserole dish.
Toss the apples with the melted butter and sugar and spread in one layer in the casserole.
Bake 20 minutes, until caramelized-looking and tender, but not until mushy! Set aside to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook (or a large bowl), whisk together the flours, spices, salt, and yeast.
Pour in the water, milk and maple syrup, beating well.
Cover and refrigerate 6 hours.
Stir down, then knead in the apples, seeds and figs.
Re-cover and refrigerate 8 hours.
Deflate the dough, shape into a round and place into a deep, covered Dutch oven that has been greased.
Cover and refrigerate 8 hours.
Put the cold pot of bread in a cold oven and turn the temperature to 425°F.
Bake the bread for 55 minutes, then remove the lid and bake another 10 minutes.
Turn out onto a rack and cool completely before slicing.
