1 1/2 cup wholemeal flour

3/4 cup natural muesli, plus ¼ cup extra

7 gram sachet dried yeast

2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup sultanas

Method

1.Sift flours together into a large bowl, returning husks. Stir in muesli, yeast, cinnamon and salt.

2.Combine milk and honey in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until lukewarm. Add to dry ingredients, stirring to form a soft dough.

3.Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a large lightly oiled bowl. Cover and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size (see tip).

4.Preheat oven to hot, 200°C. Grease a large oven tray.

5.Punch down dough with fist to release gas. Knead for 2-3 minutes. Roll out to a 1cm-thick 25 x 35cm rectangle. Sprinkle apricots and sultanas over. Starting from the short end, roll up. Place on tray and tuck open ends under. Cover and set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes.

6.Brush loaf lightly with egg and sprinkle with extra muesli. Bake for 25-30 minutes until well risen and sounds hollow when tapped.

7.Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve with butter and jam.

Proved dough (end of Step 5) can be refrigerated overnight. Bring back to room temperature and bake as instructed.
