Walnut Bread +
Yields: 2 Loaves
Ingredients
26 oz. French Style Flour (approx.
5 cups plus 1 tablespoon)
2 cups lukewarm water (16 oz)
4 teaspoons instant yeast
3 teaspoons salt
2/3 cups walnuts
2/3 cup dried cherries
Method
In a mixing bowl of a stand mixer, whisk
together the French flour, yeast and
salt. Make sure that the salt and yeast
do not come into direct contact. With a
paddle attachment, slowly pour in
water. Then switch to a dough hook
and knead for 8 minutes. During the
last two minutes add in the cherries and
the walnuts.
Transfer dough to a lightly flour-dusted
work surface. Shape the dough into a
ball. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rest
for 30 minutes.
Knead dough for 5 minutes by hand.
Cover the dough and let rest 1½ hours.
Stretch and fold the dough. Start from
the top of the dough pull forwards
(away from you) then bring it to the
middle. Then pull bottom of the dough
backwards (towards yourself) and fold
to the middle. Do the same for the left
and right side of the dough. Flip the
dough over and cover with plastic
wrap. Let rest 1 hour.
Divide the dough in half and shape into
round loaves.
Place on perforated baking tray. Cover
with a towel and rest for 20 minutes.
Score the loaves three times and place
directly into the oven and select the

Bread +.
