Wheat Walnut Loaf
The second 'Bread Alone' loaf I made (page 99.)
I had to mix the 20% bran wheat flour myself because I
could not find it in the store. Also I swapped the 'cracked wheat'
and used 'crushed wheat' because I also could not find this.
Nice loaf with great taste but I think the crumb would have been less
dense if I had used the correct ingredients described in the recipe.
I think it was a very good bread though.
PS : The book mentions that this bread should have a torpedo shape.
I make most of my loaves in a 'boule' shape because I bake them
in a die cast pot. The reason for doing this is that I found that I have
more control over the baking process. Benefits of this I found are that
the loaf is baked more regular.
