Recipe FAQ

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. However, the bread will be denser and not as fluffy.

Can I use a bread machine to make this recipe?

Can I freeze the bread?

Yes, you can freeze the bread for up to 3 months. Make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before placing it in the freezer.

Recipe Tips

  • If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a paper towel to brush the top of the loaf with butter.
  • Make sure to let the bread cool for 10 minutes before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
  • You can toast the walnuts before adding them to the dough to enhance their flavor.
