Directions
-
Step 1 :
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.
-
Step 2 :
When youre ready to bake the bread, preheat the oven to 375F.
-
Step 3 :
Coat a baking sheet with olive oil and lightly dust it with flour, or line it with parchment paper.
-
Step 4 :
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flours, baking soda, salt, and rosemary. Stir in the toasted pecans.
-
Step 5 :
In a separate bowl combine the raisins with the rum, the yogurt, and honey.
-
Step 6 :
Add the wet ingredients to the dry.
-
Step 7 :
Mix until the dough is too stiff to stir. Use your hands to bring it together in the bowl.
-
Step 8 :
Add additional yogurt one teaspoon at a time if its too dry. You want a stiff, slightly tacky ball.
-
Step 9 :
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.).
-
Step 10 :
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.
-
Step 11 :
Brush the top with milk.
-
Step 12 :
Sprinkle with seeds or oats if using.
-
Step 13 :
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. When you tap the loaf, it will sound hollow.
-
Step 14 :
Cool on a wire rack.
-
Step 15 :
Serve warm or at room temperature with a generous slather of butter.
