   Sift flour

   Grind yeast with flour to fine crumbs, add salt and mix well

   We make a recess in the flour and add honey

5. Step 5:

   

   And mixed serum with water (only water can be used)

6. Step 6:

   

   Knead the dough. It turns out to be quite sticky, but try not to add any more flour or add quite a bit

7. Step 7:

   

   Now our dough needs to be kneaded, knead for 10 minutes, the dough should turn out very tender

9. Step 8:

   

   While kneading the dough, pour the dried fruits with boiling water, let them steam a little and after the dough is kneaded, add the chopped dried apricots and nuts with raisins, mix them into the dough

10. Step 9:

    

    Form a bun from the dough

11. Step 10:

    

    We send it to a greased bowl and leave it in a warm place to rise for 1 hour (until doubled in size)

12. Step 11:

    

    Spread the finished dough on a floured table, crumble and divide into 2 equal parts

13. Step 12:

    

    We form a bar from each part and put it on a baking sheet for further proofing, leave them to rest for 30 minutes

14. Step 13:

    

    On ready-made bars, if desired, we make incisions and bake in a preheated 220 C oven for 15 minutes with steam (for this we place a deep baking tray with boiling water on the bottom of the oven), after 15 minutes we pull out the baking tray with water, reduce the temperature to 180 and bake for another 15-20 minutes. The finished bread must be allowed to cool completely and stand for 3 hours, then our bread will be very fragrant and ripen. Bon appetit!
