    List of Ingredients


    • 9 ounces lukewarm water (110 degrees F.)
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 to 3/4 cup toasted coarsely chopped hazelnuts
    • 1 cup whole wheat flour
    • 1 1/4 cups bread flour
    • 2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten, optional *
    • 3 teaspoons instant active dry yeast


    Instructions


    1. Place all ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select dough setting and press start. When dough cycle has finished, remove dough from pan and turn out onto a lightly oiled surface. Form dough into an oval, cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
    2. After resting, turn dough bottom side up and press to flatten. Fold dough into an envelope by folding the top 1/3 of the way to the bottom. Then fold the bottom a 1/3 of the way over the top. Then press dough with the palm of your hand to make an indentation down the center of the dough and fold the top completely to the bottom, sealing the seam with the palm of your hand.
    3. Place on a jelly roll pan dusted with cornmeal; cover and place in a warm spot to rise for approximately 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    4. After dough has risen, slash the bread with a very sharp knife making three 1/2-inch deep diagonal slashes. Brush the top of the bread with cold water and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until nicely browned. (A good check is to use an instant digital thermometer to test your bread. The temperature should be between 200 and 210 degrees.)


    Final Comments


    Makes 1 1/2-pound loaf.

    * Also called gluten flour, instant gluten flour, pure gluten flour, and vital wheat gluten depending on vendor and manufacturer. This is flour with the starch and bran removed. Gluten is the natural protein in the wheat endosperm which, when combined with water, forms a taffy-like dough. This retains the gas and steam from baking.
