Description
Nazli, in the Aegean region of Western Turkey, is where we source our Smyrna Figs. We chose these figs as we love the way they are left on the trees until they are perfectly ripe and sweet, they then naturally fall to the ground where they are gently laid out to dry in the Turkish sun.
Snack happy…
Our Soft Smyrna Figs are the perfect healthy snack for the whole family! Not only are they the most juicy figs but they are part of your 5 a day!
Naturally ugly but delicious, Good by nature, good for you, Suitable for vegans

Recipes
Sweet Figgy Loaf
Preparation time: 45 minutes plus 2 hours proving time
Cooking time: 20-25 minutes
Ingredients
300g strong white bread flour
7g pkt fast action yeast
1/4 Tsp salt
50g unsalted butter
75g caster sugar
1 medium egg, beaten
150g Whitworths figs, roughly chopped
How to make
Step 1 – Sieve the flour into a bowl and stir in the yeast and salt.
Step 2 – Melt the butter in a pan, then off the heat, mix with the sugar and milk (the mixture should only be blood heat when tested with the finger), add the egg and mix well.
Step 3 – Add the milk mixture to the flour and mix well together to form a soft dough. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until it feels smooth and elastic (takes about 5 minutes).
Step 4 – Return the dough to a clean, lightly oiled bowl and cover the bowl with oiled cling film. Leave in a warm place to double in size (takes about an hour).
Step 5 – Tip the dough out onto the floured surface and knead in the figs. Form into an oval loft shape, place onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Cover loosely with oiled cling film.
Step 6 – Leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about an hour), remove the cling film, make 2 slits in the surface of the bread and bake in a preheated oven, Gas 5, 190?C for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden brown (when the base is tapped it should sound hollow).
Step 7 – Serve sliced and buttered.
