Back On Form

This week sees my baking efforts return to form, after last weekend the only way was up. On the menu was a Walnut and Sultana bread with Almonds and an ordinary white loaf. The Walnut Bread was slightly modified as when I went to my cupboards I found that I had run out of Walnuts, so I substituted Hazelnuts instead, I think the overall result was excellent. The principal flour was wholemeal (400g) and the remainder was strong white flour (110g). After the initial rising I then added the nuts and sultanas, rolling the shaped loaf in the almonds and then allowing it to prove for another 40 minutes.

My second loaf turned out just as good but I think you can guess which one got eaten first.
