Rosemary Walnut Bread

I receive this recipe from a friend who was moving into a new apartment. To celebrate, she made this bread to share and now it is served at many of my family functions.—Robin Haas, Cranston, Rhode Island

Ingredients

1-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1-1/2 to 2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in whole wheat
flour and 1/4 cup white flour. Cover and let stand for 45 minutes.
Add the walnuts, honey, oil, rosemary, salt and 3/4 cup white flour.
Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft
dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about
6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the
top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough
into thirds. Shape each into a 12-in. rope. Place ropes on a greased
baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and
let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
