Walnut Bread Method

In a large bowl put 2 cups of warm water and 1 envelope of dry yeast and whisk until dissolved then let it stand for 12 minutes. Mix one cup of flour at a time to form a dough that is too stiff to stir then turn out the dough onto a floured board and knead in remaining flour to get a soft smooth dough then keep kneading until elastic and slightly sticky about 4 minutes. Take a large bowl and lightly oil it and then add the dough and turn it to coat it with the oil, cover and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size it usually takes around 1 to 2 hours.

Next while that is rising preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly flour 2 baking sheets. After the bread has finnished rising gently turn it out onto the lightly floured surface and do not let it deflate. Take a long sharp knife and cut dough into 3 equal pieces and gently stretch each piece into a long loaf shape and transfer to the prepared baking sheets make sure they are spaced at least 2 inches apart. Bake the Walnut Bread until loaves sound hollow when tapped on bottom about 1 hour and then transfer the loaves to a rack and let them cool completely.

Enjoy your freshly made Walnut Bread!
