Stir to dissolve. Let mixture sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add oil and salt to yeast mixture. Gradually stir in 3 cups all-purpose flour and 2 cups rye flour. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Add more flour if dough is too sticky. Oil a large bowl. Add dough and turn to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm area until double in size, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Dust 2 large baking sheets with flour. Punch dough down and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Press dough to a 1 " thick rectangle. Sprinkle figs over evenly. Roll up dough and knead to distribute figs evenly. Divide dough in half. Roll each piece into a 16 " loaf. Transfer to baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm area, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake loaves until golden brown about 45 minutes. Use a spray bottle to spray the oven with water every 10 minutes to create a crisp crust. Cool loaves on wire racks. Yields 2 loaves. ______________________________\ ____ OMG, Sweet deal for users/friends:Get A Month of Blockbuster Total Access, No Cost.
