Ingredients
- 250 grams whole wheat flour
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams dry yeast
- 15 grams sugar
- 300 ml lukewarm water
- 10 grams salt
- 30 ml olive oil
- 400 grams button mushrooms
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves

- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams cream cheese

Instructions
To make the bread dough, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, dry yeast, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Add the lukewarm water and mix well until the ingredients are combined.
Add the salt and olive oil to the dough and knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the mushroom pate. Clean, trim, and finely chop the mushrooms.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent.
Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce, thyme, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Transfer the mushroom mixture to a food processor. Add the cream cheese and walnuts, then blend until smooth.
Stir in the chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Punch down the dough and shape it into an oval loaf.
Place the shaped loaf onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover it with a cloth and let it rise for another 15 minutes.
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve sliced bread with the mushroom pate spread generously on top. Enjoy your vegetarian bread with 'liver' pate!
