Simple Fig Bread
I love fig, especially those dried figs.They are delicious and rich in dietary fibre.

Learn from the Master – Chen Fu Guang 陳撫洸 – Black Tea Bread with Raisins
While writing my last post on Red Wine and Dried-Fruit Bread, I have talked about Wu Pao-Chun and his Fermented Glutinous Rice and Dried Longan Bread. Someone who closely related to Wu Pao-Chun is Chen Fu Guang (陳撫洸) – the legendary bread master who is the mentor of Wu Pao-Chun and the one who lead him to explore the wonderful world of tastes.
I have come across his book “堂本麵包店 小巷𥚃的味蕾奇蹟” (ISBN 978-986-93284-4-9) and would like to learn from the master by following some of the recipes and tips shared by him.
