Instructions
▢
First, chop the walnut seeds and set them aside.
▢
To prepare the dough, add the three types of flour in a mixing bowl, then add the dry yeast.
▢
Use the mixer at moderate speed, then add the warm water little by little. Let the mixer run for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is firm.
▢
At this point, add the salt and nuts. If you don’t own a mixer with bowl, you can knead by hand following the above instructions.
▢
Once the ingredients are well mixed, transfer the dough on a lightly-floured pastry board. Knead the dough by hand, to give structure to your bread.
▢
Give it a spherical shape and place it inside a bowl.
▢
Cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in the oven switched off, only with the light on, for 3 ½ hours.
▢
Once it has doubled in volume, transfer it again on the working surface.
▢
Knead the dough again and turn it into a cylindrical shape, then transfer it on a baking tray covered with parchment paper.
▢
Let the dough rise for another hour at room temperature.
▢
After that, create the classic bread cuts by carving the surface of the bread with a very sharp blade.
▢
Preheat oven at 240 °C (464 F), placing a bowl of water inside, at the bottom. When the oven is hot, let the bread bake in the second lowest shelf.
▢
Wait 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 220 °C (428 F), remove the bowl of water and let it bake for another 20 minutes.
▢
Once baked, let it cool before slicing and serving.
