Recipe FAQ

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

Can I freeze the bread?

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.
