Hearty Oat and Walnut Bread
Packed with Walnut Pieces – the Mild Crunch and Woody Flavor of Walnuts in Every Bite

Makes 1 loaf
3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats, toasted*

Recipe
Procedure
In a large bowl, combine 1cup flour, oats, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt.
Heat water and butter until very warm (120o to 130oF). Gradually add to flour
mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl
occasionally. Stir in walnuts and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
Knead on lightly greased surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Roll dough to 12 x 8-inch rectangle. Beginning at
short end, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seam and ends to seal. Place,
seam side down, in greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free
place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Bake at 375oF for 35 to 40 minutes or
until done. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
* To toast oats: Spread oats in thin layer in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350oF
for 10 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown, stirring often.
