World Bread Day
World Bread Day - a blog event organised by Kochtopf, a German Blog in support of The International Union of Bakers and Bakers-Confectioners declaring the 16th of October as World Bread Day. Walnut Bread, made following the recipe in Dough by Richard Bertinet being my entry...

Walnut Bread from Dough by Richard Bertinet
  • 400g Strong White Flour
  • 100g Dark Rye Flour
  • 10g (Fresh) Yeast - I used dried
  • 10g Salt
  • 350g Water - weighing is more accurate
  • 200g shelled and crushed walnuts
Simplicity itself - mix the two flours and add/rub in the yeast. Add the salt and water and pound/pummel/slap or however you like to make your dough until smooth and elastic. Add walnuts at the end. Shape into a ball and leave under a tea-towel for an hour. I have found the best place for the dough to rise is on top of my CRT monitor (I have a dual screen setup, one being a flat-screen).

When risen divide into two, make each into a ball and let rest for five minutes. Make a big hole in the middle and leave to prove for another hour until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 240C. Mist inside with a spray, reduce heat to 220C and bake loaves for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 200C. Should be ready in 15 minutes. Remove and cool. No nibbling while still hot!

This looks wonderful...

Unfortunately I missed (or forgot about) World Bread Day, despite having big plans for a post.

I'll have to do it later in the week!

Andrew, I baked "your" bread for World Bread Day '06 - After Hours Party. I did some minor changes. It was delicious! If you would like to have a look: http://kochtopf.twoday.net/stories/2870668/

This bread looks wonderful, can not wait to make it. I live in Romania and the walnuts are ready now ,they grow every where here on the road sides , so you just help yourself.

Thanks in anticipation, and as they say here "Pofta Bun"

Hello---I've been looking for a very dark(maybe rye) bread with walnuts. Came across yours---Looks very enticing---only thing is I'm in the USA and am awful in math---so will have to take this recipe to the Extension office to see if they can transpose the numbers for me....So, if you can come up with a dark bread with walnuts, please send it to me.
