Notes
  1. Cook's tips and tricks: This is a sturdy dough that can stand up to some messing around. Substitute other dried fruits and nuts, experiment with spices, such as nutmeg and cardamom. Double the recipe during zucchini harvest time. Wrap the fully cooled loaves twice in plastic wrap, then in foil. Freeze up to three months.
