Walnut bread

Walnut bread is a delicious and hearty treat perfect for breakfast or as a snack. This recipe combines the subtle sweetness of honey with the rich flavor of walnuts, creating a loaf that's both nutritious and satisfying. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice, this guide will help you create a delectable walnut bread at home.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp honey
20g
1.50 cups water
380g
1 tsp yeast
5g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
230g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 cup walnuts
230g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey and warm water (ensure the water is lukewarm, around 100-110°F or 37-43°C). Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
- Sprinkle the yeast over the water-honey mixture. Let it sit for around 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Add the melted butter to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour and salt. Mix thoroughly.
4. Form the Dough:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing continuously to form a dough. You can use a wooden spoon or a mixer with a dough hook.
- Once the dough starts to come together, add the chopped walnuts. Knead the dough until the walnuts are distributed evenly throughout.
5. First Rise:
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
6. Shape the Dough:
- After the first rise, gently punch down the dough to release the air.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan or on a parchment-lined baking sheet if you prefer a free-form bread.
7. Second Rise:
- Cover the shaped dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
8. Preheat the Oven:
- While the dough is undergoing its second rise, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Bake:
- Once the dough has risen, remove the covering and place it in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
10. Cool:
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
11. Serve:
- Enjoy your homemade walnut bread plain, with butter, or as a flavorful base for sandwiches!

Tips:

- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you begin mixing. This helps in achieving a consistent dough.

- To get the most flavor from the walnuts, consider toasting them lightly before incorporating them into the dough.

- If your dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, but be cautious not to overdo it as this may make the bread too dense.

- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free environment to ensure proper fermentation.

- For a nice crust, you can preheat the oven with a baking stone and place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack while baking.

Baking your own walnut bread is a rewarding experience that fills your home with irresistible aromas and offers a freshly baked loaf that's hard to beat. Follow these instructions and tips to make a light, nutty, and flavorful walnut bread. Enjoy this bread fresh from the oven with a pat of butter, or toast it for a crispy, delightful treat. Happy baking!
