How nice to have the abundant figs! Your bread looks gorgeous.
Cathy says
Thanks! I was pretty amazed at how many figs the dwarf tree produced.
Kelly says
Oh wow, sourdough and your own figs, that’s just amazing!
Cathy says
This dough worked really well with sourdough. It was pretty neat being able to use figs from my tree.
Elle says
Love your flatbread…it looks like autumn to me. So great to be able to load it up with garden-grown figs, dried yourself. Add in the sourdough aspect and it’s perfect. Didn’t try it with sourdough but it looked like it would work well…and you did it.
Cathy says
Thanks! The sourdough worked really well. Although I’m sure the extra 1/2 cup of potato water would’ve been a great addition, it worked fine without it.
Elizabeth says
That looks SO good. I’m really glad to see that it works perfectly with a sourdough starter. I’m also suitably envious that you have a fig tree in your garden. More than envious, actually.
Cathy says
This flatbread worked great with sourdough. You need to try it. I’ve definitely been enjoying the fig tree. I planted it in mid-2020. I never would have guessed I would get so many figs from one tree.
Elizabeth says
You’re right, Cathy. This recipe DOES work well with sourdough.
Wow, after only two years? Your tree is already producing so much fruit! I’m SO envious.
I had a fig tree in a large pot for about 4 years. I had to haul it in for the winter, even though, allegedly fig trees WILL grow here (we just don’t have room for another tree in our tiny garden). The little tree produced one or two figs each summer. Alas, they never ripened properly so I accidentally on purpose forgot to bring the fig pot inside one October….
Cathy says
I’m still amazed at how big the fig tree grew in only two years. I do hope it doesn’t get much bigger. It’s supposed to be a dwarf tree.
Sorry to hear about your fig tree in the pot. Although I do understand. I have several citrus trees in pots that I’ve been nurturing. Some years the harvest is better than others.
Elizabeth says
Would massive pruning keep it to sort-of dwarf size? Or do you think that would cause it not to fruit so spectacularly? (I have a supposedly miniature lilac in a large pot outside the kitchen window. It’s not exactly miniature….)
Cathy says
Funny you should mention pruning. I pruned the tree last year (as they recommend), but it didn’t produce a very good harvest. Perhaps I pruned the wrong branches. I didn’t prune it this year and there you go.
Katie says
We have 2 big fig trees – sadly, I find them too sweet. I have no idea what kind they are – other than they’re green lol
The birds are happy.
I love your bread – we also have walnut trees which I use lots.
Cathy says
A walnut tree sounds very convenient. I could use one of those or a pecan tree.
