Italian Walnut Bread

By request from Corinne I have now translated the recipe for Italian Walnut Bread. ;-)

Ingredients:

• 12-13 dl Flour for Breadbaking


• 3/4 teaspoon Salt


• 1 ml Red Hot Chilipepper


• 2 tablespoons Oliveoil


• 6dl Water


• 50g Walnuts (coarse chopped)


• 6 g dry yeast


• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Preparation:

1. Warm up the water to 40-45 °C.


2. Add the oil, salt, chillipepper and ½ tablespoon sesame seeds.


3. Add yeast.


4. Add flour and walnuts.


5. Mix everything, the dough should be a little looser than normal plain bread dough.


6. Let the doght rise in roomtemperature for 2 hours.


7. Overturn the dough directly on the greased or on "bakingpaper" sealed baking tin. Have some flour on the dough before, so it keeps the shape.


8. Cut the dough in two peices. Make two breadrolls of it. Important: don't work the dough, just shape it.


9. Brush the bread rolls with water and oil.


10. Sprinkle the rest of the sesame seeds over the bread rolls.


11. Put the bread in the oven on 250°C for abot 10 minutes. After this put the temperature to 150°C and let the bread stay in the oven for about 20 more minutes.


12. Let the bread cool down under a cloth.


13. Enjoy!

Good luck!
