In a large bowl mix the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, muesli, shredded coconut and apricots.
Make a well in the center of the mix and add in the water and oil and mix until combined.
Finish mixing the dough by hand, adding in a few spoonfuls of water if the mixture is too dry and crumbly. Shape into a dough.
Place dough on an oiled piece of parchment paper and put inside the Instant Pot insert.
Close the Instant Pot, choose the yogurt setting, normal pressure and set the time for 4.5 hours.
At 4 hours, open and remove the parchment paper with the dough in it. Shape the dough into a bread shaped ball, put back on the parchment paper and return to the Instant Pot and cover for the remaining time.

Preheat the oven to 450F/ fan-assisted 210C / 230C/ gas 7, with the cast iron pot inside it.

Place dough on an oiled piece of parchment paper.
Remove cast iron from the oven, transfer the parchment paper with the bread dough on it into the cast iron pot. Trim off any excess parchment and then cover.
Bake the bread dough for 30 minutes covered, then remove the cover and bake for another 10 minutes for a golden crusty topping.

Make sure to use the yogurt setting for proofing the dough. Please do not use any other setting.
For the second proof, feel free to use an oven-ready bread pan or baking basket that can fit into the Instant Pot to hold the bread rather than the parchment paper.
You will not be using the pressure function on the Instant Pot so you can use the Instant Pot lid, a regular cover, or even some cling film as the muesli bread dough is rising.
Do cut the apricots into small cubes as you don't want to end up with large lumps which may make the bread soggy.
Use a small cast iron pot for a deeper loaf. If you want your bread to spread out more, than use a larger cast iron pot.
