DRIED FIG AND HAZELNUT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Butter an 8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ½ loaf pan, or 4 small loaf pans.
• Line with buttered parchment paper, dust lightly with flour.
• Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl.
• In a large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the eggs until they are combined, then slowly whisk in the dry ingredients.
• Stir in the melted butter until it is thoroughly blended, then fold in the figs, cheese, hazelnuts and pepper, making sure they are well distributed throughout the batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan or pans and rap it sharply on a work surface to release any air bubbles.
• Bake in the center of the oven until the top of the bread is golden, and a tester stuck in the center comes out clean.(40 to 45 minutes for a single loaf, 30 to 35 minutes for smaller loaves.).
