There have been some inspiring and mouthwatering nutty breads posted lately, so how could I resist. I had to have some. It's been a long time, and I forgot how good a few walnuts in a loaf of bread could be.
The bread is a basic sourdough, mostly bolted wheat, a bit of whole white wheat, and a small amount of WW from my starter. Hydration was around 75%. To this I added a handful of walnuts and a spoonful of honey. Precision was not the priority this particular day, clearly. I don't usually use sweetner in my sourdoughs so I lowered the oven temp to compensate for the honey, but the crust still went a little dark, darker than the photos make it look. No complaints about the flavor, though! I made a batch of cranberry sauce to go with it and now everything is right with the world... until the bread runs out anyway!

Loads of them, I swear! I don't know how I missed them with this slice, but you shoulda seen the next one! ;)
Inspiring, Marcus..! You have taste my friend, nothing beats Wholewheat flavor.
Wherever I go with my baking I always seem to come back to a whole wheat loaf of some kind. Although, it's been a while since I've done anything with rye, hmm...
