1
Put the flour, walnut pieces, light muscovado, sugar and salt together in a large bowl.

For this step you'll need:
- 400g Very strong wholemeal bread flour
- 250g Strong white bread flour
- 100g Walnuts pieces, chopped and toasted
- 2 tbsp Unrefined light muscovado sugar
- 1½tsp Salt
2
Sprinkle over the yeast so that it is evenly dispersed and then pour in the oil and warm water. To achieve the right temperature of water we recommend mixing 1 part boiling water to 2 parts cold.

For this step you'll need:
- 1 Easy bake yeast sachet
- 450ml Warm water
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
3

Mix together with your hands until the mixture combines to make a rough dough ball.
4

Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and stretch and knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5

Shape into an oval and put on to a greased baking tray. Use a sharp knife to score a few diagonal lines on tops of the loaf. Cover loosely with cling film. Leave in a warm place until doubled in size. This will take approximately 30-40 minutes.
6

Preheat the oven to 220°C, 200°C fan, gas 7. Remove cling film from bread and
reduce the oven temperature to 200°C, 180°C fan, gas 6. Bake the bread for 35
minutes until golden.
