• Mix in the fruit for one minute on slow speed.
• Scale the dough to 400g.
• Rest dough for 10 minutes under cover.

• Process dough efficiently to avoid skinning.
• Soak the dried fruit in water overnight and drain well before adding to the dough. This gives excellent softness and eating quality.
