The original inspiration for this loaf came from a renowned bakery in Amsterdam.
We have come up with our own version in a traditional baton shape with a leaf design on the crust in tribute to good memories.

"The bread Fig and Walnut we serve is the first thing our diners eat. It sets the standard for the food that follows. The only bakery I trust to do this is Hobbs House bakery."
Ron Faulkner, Ronnies, Thornbury, winner of The Good Food Guide Restaurant of the Year 2009

Fig & walnut bread will keep well for a week in a cool dry place.
It also freezes really well: slice before freezing so you can enjoy your whole loaf slice after slice.

This is an awesome loaf and is enjoyed best with runny scrambled eggs or blue cheese.
If you have frozen the loaf whole, partially thaw (two hours), then 8 – 10 minutes in a hot oven before serving.
This is perfect for a dinner party, your guests will be seriously impressed, no cheese course is complete without it.
