Walnut bread recipe details
Ingredients
360 ml | lukewarm water |
1 tbsp | dried active yeast |
1 pinch(es) | sugar |
125 ml | honey |
60 ml | walnut oil, see comments below in ‘About this recipe’ |
1 ½ tsp | salt |
600 g | plain flour, approximately |
225 g | walnuts, broken, lightly toasted |
some | semolina |
Instructions
Pre-warm a stainless steel bowl with hot water. Empty and add the lukewarm water. Sprinkle on the yeast and a pinch of sugar and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Stir in honey, oil and salt. Add the flour 100 g at a time until it forms a loose, wet dough.Turn out onto a floured surface and knead, adding more flour when necessary at about 25 g or so at a time until the dough becomes smooth and glossy. Form into a rough ball and place in a greased bowl. Turn the dough in the bowl to cover it with oil, cover the bowl and leave in a warm place for about 1½ hours until doubled in size.
Knock back the dough and work in the walnut pieces until reasonably well distributed. Divide the dough equally and form each portion into a ball. Place each ball onto a greased baking tray sprinkled with semolina. Cover the loaves with damp tea towels and leave to rise for 30-50 minutes.
Preheat oven to Gas Mark 4, 180ºC, 350ºF.
Uncover the loaves and sprinkle a little flour over the tops. Use a sharp knife to slash an X-shape into the tops. Bake for 35-45 minutes until browned and they sound hollow when tapped with knuckles.
Remove from trays and allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
About this recipe:
As found, it uses walnut oil. However, I tried two different types of walnut oil and found both to be excessively bitter although quite fresh. I therefore used a lesser amount of walnut oil, perhaps 20-25 ml and topped it up to the total amount with a neutral-flavoured oil; I would suggest either sunflower oil or corn oil if the walnut oil you find is similar to that I found. If milder tasting, I would try using walnut oil alone.
