None None Labne
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups Greek yogurt
.75 oz mint, finely chopped
.75 oz chives, finely chopped
None None Extra virgin olive oil, to serve
None None Fruit Bread
None None All-purpose flour, for dusting
4 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup butter, chopped
2.5 oz walnuts, coarsely chopped, toasted
1 tbsp honey
3 oz pitted dates, finely chopped
3 oz dried figs, finely chopped
3/4 cup milk
1 None large egg, lightly whisked

1
To make labne, place a sieve over a large bowl. Line with a piece of cheesecloth. Stir salt into yogurt and spoon into cloth. Gather corners and loosely secure. Chill for 24 hours.
2
Transfer firm yogurt to bowl, discarding cheesecloth and whey. Roll yogurt into golf-ball size balls. Arrange on tray and chill 2 hours.
3
To make fruit bread, preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Dust an baking sheet with all-purpose flour. Sift self-rising flour into a bowl. Add butter and rub in using fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
4
In a small bowl, toss walnuts in honey. Add to flour with dates and figs, stirring to combine. Stir in combined milk and egg and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 1-2 minutes, until smooth.
5
Shape into two 10-inch logs. Place on tray. Score tops with a sharp knife. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until bread is golden and sounds hollow when tapped. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
6
When ready to serve, roll yogurt balls in mint and chives to coat. Drizzle with oil and accompany with sliced walnut fruit bread.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
