Tips:
This bread has more dried fruit, the more it tastes better.
The initial protection time of the starter should be determined according to the surrounding temperature. If the room temperature is low, it can be left for one day. I made it one night in advance, and kept it in the refrigerator to ferment for one night.
The prepared bread is harder to eat at the time, and it will taste better if it is left for a day.
