Walnut Bread With Wheat Germ
- 270 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 30 grams Wheat germ
- 20 grams Sugar
- 5 grams Salt
- 6 grams Dry yeast
- 200 grams Water
- 20 grams Shortening
- 50 grams Walnuts
- Roast the wheat germ and let it cool.
- (I just do this in a frying pan since it's a small amount.
- On the left in the photo: before roasting.
- On the right: after roasting.)
- Roast the walnuts and crush them up finely.
- (I roast them spread out on the baking sheet of the oven toaster.)
- Make the dough, and add the walnuts just before it has finished kneading.
- Knead the walnuts in and leave for the first rising (30 to 40 minutes).
- If using a bread machine, put in all the ingredients except for the shortening and start the dough kneading program.
- Add the shortening 10 minutes afterwards.
- After the 1st rising is finished, divide the dough and deflate lightly.
- Round out each piece of dough, and let it rest (for about 20 minutes).
- Deflate the dough lightly with your hands, and roll out with a rolling pin into an oval shape.
- Fold the left side in and press down lightly.
- Fold the right side in so that it overlaps the left side fold, and press down lightly.
- Fold in half, and seal.
- This is the sealed up bread dough.
- Let the dough rice again (2nd rising) for about 30 minutes, or until the dough increases to 1.5 times its original volume.
- Slash the top, and bake in a preheated 200 C oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
- It's delicious sliced and lightly toasted too.
- Ideal water temperatures to make the dough: About 30 C in the spring and fall, 10 C in the summer, and about 45 C in the winter.
- I warm it up in the microwave.
