Nutty Whole Wheat Bread

A simple bread with healthy whole wheat and toasty nuts! It's great for sandwiches, jams or with some good butter. I tried to add lots of step photos so you can make this bread even if you're a beginner!
With rising time, it will take about 2 to 2.5 hours from start to finish.

Steps
- 1
If not chopped already, chop up your nuts into smaller pieces. Walnuts are nice, or use a mix of your favorites :)
- 2
In a small pot, mix milk, water and olive oil/butter. Heat until warm (but not hot!) on low heat. Take of heat and mix in honey/sugar and yeast until dissolved. Warm water is important to activate the yeast so don't use cold!
- 3
Let the liquid sit for 5-10 minutes. You should get little bubbles or foam from the yeast starting to be active.
- 4
In a large mixing bowl, mix together wheat flour and regular flour.
- 5
Pour in the liquid mixture, then add the salt last. Start mixing and folding with a spatula to bring the dough together.
- 6
You want the dough to be moist but not sticky. If the dough is too dry or powdery, add add just a little more milk or water (try a Tablespoon or two at a time). Once the dough comes together, it's ready to knead!
- 7
Dust your kneading surface with plenty of flour and place the ball of dough onto it. Also, dust your hands with plenty of flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
- 8
First, flatten out the dough a little bit and gently press in the nuts.
- 9
To knead, fold in the outer edges of the dough toward the center and press down with the palm of your hand each time. Repeat...
- 10
Keep folding over and pressing, while rotating the dough around so you can form a big ball.
- 11
Knead this way for 10 minutes or so until the dough is fairly smooth.
- 12
Once finished, you'll have a ball of dough which should be smooth on top and have creases from folding on the bottom.
- 13
Grease the mixing bowl with just a little oil and put in the ball of dough, crease-side down. Brush the top with a little oil too to help prevent drying.
- 14
Cover with wrap and set in a warm spot or warm oven for about 1 hour - 1.5 hours. The dough should rise to about double.
- 15
Squish out the air and shape into the shape you want (e.g. a round or oval loaf). Place on the baking sheet.
- 16
Beat an egg with a Tablespoon of water and brush top of dough with it. If adding toppings like rolled oats, sesame seeds, etc., sprinkle on desired amount. The egg will give the bread a nice brown color and hold on any toppings while baking but isn't necessary.
- 17
Let dough rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C. Bake for 30-40 minutes (mine only took 30 minutes). Let cool on a rack for a few minutes before digging in!
