Step-by-step

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas mark 4. Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, orange zest, apricots, pistachios and rosemary in a mixing bowl and stir together so that everything is evenly dispersed.
  2. Beat the egg with the milk using a whisk, and pour this into the bowl. Bring everything together into a dough using your hands. Grab the ingredients and squeeze them together, then, when the mixture forms a rough dough, knead it gently for a minute.
  3. Roll the dough into a long fat sausage, about 23cm long, then place it on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes, or until light golden-brown, then remove from the oven and slice into 1cm-thick pieces using a sharp serrated knife.
  5. Put these slices back on the baking sheet and back into the oven, turning the oven down to 130°C and baking for 15 minutes.
  6. Allow to cool completely before eating.
