Walnut Bread

Crumble the yeast into the lukewarm water, whisk well and let stand briefly until the first bubbles appear.

Finely chop the walnuts.

In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt and the chopped walnuts well.

Add the milk, oil and the yeast mixture and knead everything on a floured surface into a smooth dough.

Cover the dough and let it rest until the volume has roughly doubled.

Punch the dough down briefly, shape it into a round loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Preheat the oven to 200 °C (convection).

Cover the loaf and let it rest again.

Sprinkle the loaf with a little wholemeal flour, bake for 15 minutes at 200 °C (convection), then reduce the oven to 180 °C and bake for another 15 minutes.

Remove the walnut bread from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
