- Add the dried fruit to a small bowl, cover with hot water and set aside for 10 minutes, then drain.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, allspice, walnuts and fruit. In a measuring jug, combine the maple syrup and water. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover and leave for 2 hours, until doubled in size.
- Prepare a loaf tin.
- Perform at least 3 stretch and folds, then stretch the dough into an oblong, fold one edge into the centre and the other over that. Place in the tin, cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C.
- Cut 3 or 4 slashes into the dough to allow the air to escape. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cover with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking if browning too quickly.
- Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool for 1 hour before slicing.
