Stout and Walnut Bread

One for the boys, surely. Wright's Malty bread mix with a crunchy texture of malted wheat flakes and a taint of stout to complement. Get them guessing what bread they are eating with their sandwiches on St. Patrick's Night! Super with smoke

Step #1

METHOD (makes 1 loaf): Prepare the Malty Bread Mix according to the instructions on pack using Stout instead of water.

Step #2

Cover with a damp tea towel; lightly oiled plastic or polythene and rest for 10 minutes. Blend the coarsely chopped walnuts through the dough.

Step #3

Mould into a ball, cover as before and rest for a further 5-10 minutes.

Step #4

Mould into shape and place in a well greased large (2lb) loaf tin. Cover with a lightly oiled plastic sheet and prove in a warm place for 35-40 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step #5

Remove the cover and bake in a pre-heated oven 220ºC (425ºF) gas mark 7 for 30 - 35 minutes. When baked, remove from tin and put on a wire tray to cool.

Step #6

NOTE: If using a bread machine, use the appropriate quantities of mix to suit your machine, then place all ingredients in the pan, choosing the rapid or normal setting.
