A touch of unsalted butter adds softness, while the beer acts as a natural leavening agent, giving the bread a tender yet hearty structure. Perfect as a snack or served alongside soups and stews, this walnut-studded bread is a crowd-pleaser that shines both toasted and fresh. Indulge in the ultimate balance of savory and nutty flavors with this easy and satisfying bread machine recipe!
In the baking pan of your bread machine, add the ingredients in the following order: beer, unsalted butter, sugar, salt, and all-purpose flour. Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast.
Secure the baking pan into the bread machine and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting. Choose the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark) according to your preference.
Start the bread machine and allow it to mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread according to the manufacturer's settings.
When the machine signals for additional ingredients (typically during the kneading cycle), add the chopped walnuts.
Once the baking cycle finishes, carefully remove the baking pan from the bread machine using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
Turn the bread out onto a wire cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, plain or with butter, and enjoy the nutty, flavorful taste!
