How to make fig bread

The first step in how to make fig bread is to peel the toasted almonds and chop them into small pieces. Next, do the same with the walnuts and then with the sweet figs, peeling and chopping them into small pieces. It's important to ensure that all ingredients are evenly sized to enhance the texture of the bread.

Now, mix the cinnamon, the shot of rum and a little bit of water in a bowl large enough to hold the chopped figs as well. After adding them, let it sit for 2 hours. This soaking process allows the figs to absorb the flavors, making the bread more aromatic and flavorful.

After 2 hours have passed, grease the mould with a little olive oil and a bit of flour. In the bowl with the figs, now add the chopped almonds and walnuts, the anise and the flour, mixing all of the ingredients well to produce a fully incorporated batter. Ensuring the mixture is well combined will result in a dense and moist bread.

To make fig bread, pour the batter into an ovenproof mould, bearing in mind that you should keep the batter as compact as possible. This helps the bread hold its shape and ensures even cooking throughout.

The last step is to put the mould with the fig bread in a preheated oven at 150º C (300º F), either on the top or bottom rack and let the bread bake for about 30 minutes. However, it's advisable that you check it frequently to avoid burning it. Adjust the baking time if necessary, as oven temperatures can vary.
