List of Ingredients
2 cups warm water (110 to 115 ¼ F.)
3/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
6 cups whole-wheat flour
2 tart apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups unbleached flourRecipe
In a large bowl, mix the water and sprinkle the yeast on top. Set aside to proof for 10 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of the whole-wheat flour. Beat well for 3 minutes with an electric mixer (or beat vigorously by hand). Stir in the apples, walnuts, cinnamon, salt and remaining honey. Stir in the unbleached flour.
Turn out onto a floured counter and knead in enough of the remaining whole-wheat flour to form a workable dough. Knead for 10 minutes, or until smooth, elastic and only a bit sticky. Form into a ball. Lightly coat a large bowl with non-stick cooking spray. Add the dough and coat the top of it with non-stick spay. Cover the bowl and set aside in a warm place (80 to 85¼ F.), allowing the dough to rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Lightly spay two 9" X 5" loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape the dough into 2 loaves and place in the prepared pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375¼ F. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove the bread from the pans and let cool on a wire rack.
