Add the ingredients to the bread pan in the following order: water, sugar and salt. Then add the two types of flour and yeast. Place the bread pan in the machine. Select programme 1, the desired crust colour and press the "Start/Stop" button. When you hear the first beep (after 23 minutes), add the nuts to the dough. When the beep sounds for the second time (after 1 hr 05), open the machine and remove the dough. If you are making 8 baguettes, separate the dough into 2 portions and keep one of them under a cloth for your 2nd batch. Divide the 1st batch into 4 equal parts and shape them into baguettes. Moisten them before rolling in the corn meal. Place them on the "special loaves" baking rack. Make an incision along the length of the pieces of dough. Put 3 prunes in each incision. Press the «Start/Stop» button again. When the beep sounds again (after 57 minutes), remove the baguettes and then repeat the procedure to start off your 2nd batch. When baked, leave to cool on a rack.
