  A great recipe! Loved it. Tried some goat cheese to it, and it was fab.

  Used the breadmaker for the dough so figs were distributed evenly. Really tasty - had with different cheeses and chutney. Was a real hit!

  I used wholemeal flour instead of strong white, but it still came out delicious. Very easy and quick to make! If you are a beginner, this is definitely a good bread to start with. Your guests will be impressed. :-)

  My husband doesn't normally like "sweet stuff" with cheese...he devoured this and wants me to make it again. It is DeLiSH! A friend who was over for dinner said it was fab and that I had "raised the bar"...I just think I might make it again...;)

  This is the best bread I have ever tasted! I served it with goats cheese and plum chutney which worked really well, but everyone said it also tasted amazing just with butter. I also just used 250g of figs which was plenty. I will be making this regularly from now on.

  Sensational taste - the cracked black pepper and fig combination is a real winner. Very easy but time consuming to make. I will certainly make this bread again!
