I receive this recipe from a friend who was moving into a new apartment. To celebrate, she made this bread to share and now it is served at many of my family functions.Robin Haas, Cranston, Rhode Island Ingredients:
1-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
1/4 cup king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour |
1-1/2 to 2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts |
2 tablespoons honey |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in whole wheat flour and 1/4 cup white flour. Cover and let stand for 45 minutes. Add the walnuts, honey, oil, rosemary, salt and 3/4 cup white flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough into thirds. Shape each into a 12-in. rope. Place ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 1 loaf (9 slices).
