Method

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