I've added freekeh in many recipes but never thought of making a bread out of it. This is creative Angie! I love freeke's texture and I'm sure that this was a delicious loaf. I have to make it :)

Gina 20/9/14 07:23

Hi Angie, your bread looks nice and moist. I think the figs passed me by this year, usually I have eaten a bunch by now, but I haven't even had one. The weather here has had a lot of the crops off though. Hope it is good where you are and that you have had a good week. I blinked and mine disappeared.

Perfect timing, Angie. I have figs that need to be used up and I can't think of a better fate for them. (Although they may have to wait until I've made the Apple Streusel Bread first - love the little mini treats.)
