The recipe for Walnutsbread

Ingredients:
50 gr. yeast
1 spoon sugar or syrup
8 dl water, 37 degrees C
3 spoons oil
1 1/2 - 2 spoons salt
2-3 dl graham flour
12 dl wheat flour
150 gr. walnuts

Method:
1. Crumble the yeast into the water, and put the food mixer on low speed to dissolve the yeast.
2. Add sugar/syrup, oil, graham flour and some of the wheat flour and mix to a smooth dough. It should be a bit sticky but come loose from the bottom though.
3. Let the dough rise (covered with a damp tea towel) for 40-60 min.
4. Divide the dough into 3-4 pieces and shape them to loaves. Put them into buttered loaf tins.
5. Cover again with a tea towel, and leave the loaves to rise for about 30-40 min.
6. Bake them in preheated hot oven, 250 º for 5-10 min. and then another 25 min. in 250º oven.
7. To test the breads, remove the loaves from the tin and tap the bottom of the breads. If they sound hollow then they are baked. If not, put them back into the hot oven for further 5 minutes.
