Jeffrey Hammelman's Hazelnut, Fig, Fennel Seeds & Rosemary Bread
I want to make this bread but do not have Hazelnuts and can't get them at this time. I do have on hand, Almonds, Pecans, Walnuts & Pistachios. I was thinking of using Pecans but don't know how that will go with the Fennel Seeds & Rosemary. Any input would be appreciated.

pistachios with Italian bread ingredients like the ones you are using, They are expensive, probably why pistachios aren't used much in breads but, the green purple colors sure pop off the tan crumb and that taste is unique.
Happy baking
This is good to know. I love Pistachios and always have them on hand.

Pecans are my favorite nut...I don't see any reason why they wouldn't go well with the other ingredients in this bread. Walnuts or pistachios would be fine as well. let us know how it comes out.

with Walnuts. Will taste it tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll like it.

I added a tad bit more water to the dough. I wasn't sure how it would be. I finally cut into the bread and tasted one piece. Was so "unsure" of the Rosemary, but it tasted quite pleasant. My hubby tasted a some too, so this is a keeper. We cut in half and froze the rest. Made two loaves.
