Directions

  1. Combine the two flours and salt in a mixing bowl, then make a well in the center. ≈ 4 min
  2. Mix the yeast with the honey, add the warm water and gently mix until a smooth dough forms. Let it rise until it has doubled in size.
  3. Meanwhile, for the savory version, melt the onions in the oil or butter.
  4. Dice the apples and sauté them for 2 minutes (along with the onions for the savory version).
  5. Add the warm apples and walnuts and grapes (for the sweet version) to the dough. Sprinkle with flour and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  6. Gently shape 2 loaves and place them on a floured baking sheet. Let them rise for 20 minutes without disturbing them, to ensure a light and airy texture.
  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 °C, covering with parchment paper if the top starts to brown too quickly.
  8. Let it cool on a wire rack.
