Preheat oven to 375F. Flour your pan well and set aside (the size I used is 12"x4" - just to give you an idea.)
In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, yeast, cinnamon, and salt.
Add water and kneed dough well.
Follow with the oil and continue to knead the dough until all ingredients are incorporated.
Cover the bowl with saran wrap and top with a kitchen towel. Let proof for 30 minutes.
While dough is rising, place raisins in a bowl or measuring cup, and top with very warm/hot water.
Remove dough from bowl and knead well on a floured work surface, adding a bit of flour as you go so dough doesn't stick.
Then, using a rolling pin, spread dough and add ½ of raisins and ½ of sliced apricots and fold dough over then roll and fold dough several times.
Add remaining dried fruits as you continue to fold and roll the dough.
Finally, drizzle the honey, fold, and roll another 3-4 times to incorporate honey into dough.
Place in the prepared pan and allow dough to rest for approximately 10 minutes.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and leave bread to rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes before removing and slicing.
