Photo note:

"The crunchy and sweet crust of this bread, encrusted with sliced almonds and glazed with apricot jelly, is a wonderful counterpoint to the dense and chewy crumb, full of chopped figs and almonds. The bread is made with bread flour, whole wheat flour, water, sugar, yeast, oil, salt, almonds, dried mission figs, and apricot jelly.
