Ingredients

  • 50 gr chestnut flour
  • 200 gr manitoba flour
  • 150 gr 00 flour
  • 150 gr sourdough or alternatively 1 and a half cubes of brewer's yeast
  • 50 gr slightly melted butter
  • 250 gr milk
  • 100-150 gr water
  • 150 gr sugar
  • raisins soaked in warm water then squeezed
  • pine nuts, almonds and walnuts roughly chopped
  • 2 apples cut into cubes

Preparation

Put the sourdough and milk into the mixer and start kneading. Add the flours little by little, adding the water until you get a soft dough like pizza dough. Then add the sugar and butter.

Work until the dough is nice and smooth. Leave to rise wrapped in a blanket for at least 1 hour and a half.

After rising, take the dough and gradually add the dried fruit, apple cubes and raisins. Knead carefully and shape the bread.

Let it rise for another hour. Turn on the oven (static) and bring it to a temperature of 180 degrees. Finally, bake the bread for at least 45 minutes.
