Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1.5 cups lukewarm water
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and instant yeast. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Slowly add the lukewarm water, honey, and olive oil into the dry mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or a spatula until a sticky dough forms.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed within the dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, incorporate a small amount of flour to make it manageable.
Shape the dough into a round or oval loaf, and place it into a lightly greased bowl, turning the dough to coat it lightly with oil. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release any air. Reshape the dough into a loaf and place it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or a greased loaf pan.
Cover again with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes, until slightly puffed.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until it sounds hollow when tapped and the crust is a golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
