400g Allinson Very Strong Wholemeal Flour
250g Allinson Very Strong White Flour
7g sachet Allinson Easy Bake Yeast
100g walnut pieces, chopped and toasted
2tbsp unrefined light muscovado sugar
11⁄2 tsp Schwartz sea salt
3tbsp walnut, sunflower or olive oil
450ml warm water
Makes 1 loaf
Put the Allinson Very Strong Wholemeal Flour into a large Pyrex Mixing Bowl with the Allinson Very Strong White Flour.
Add the walnut pieces, muscovado sugar and salt.
Sprinkle over the Allinson Easy Bake yeast.
Pour in the oil and warm water.
Mix together with your hands until the mixture combines to make a rough dough ball.
Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and stretch and knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Shape into an oval and put on to a greased Pyrex Non-Stick Oven Tray.
Use a sharp knife to score a few diagonal lines on top of the loaf. Cover loosely with cling film.
Leave in a warm place until doubled in size (This will take about 30-40 minutes).
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C Fan/Gas Mark 7.
Remove cling film from bread and reduce the oven temperature to 200°C/180°CFan/Gas Mark 6.
Bake the bread for 35 minutes until golden.
To test to see if the loaf is ready, upturn and tap the base - it should sound hollow.
