2 cups whole wheat flour
1 package of dry active yeast
2 cups very warm water (120 F)
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons salt
2-3 cups bread flour
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
cornmeal
1. Mix whole wheat flour and yeast in bowl and add warm water. Beat for 1 minute on low speed and let rest covered with plastic film for 15 minutes.
2. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, oil, salt, walnuts, and 1 cup of bread flour, beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining bread flour to make a soft dough.
3. Knead dough on lightly floured surface until dough is smooth and springy - dough should still be slightly sticky. Place in large greased bowl and turn to coat then flip. Cover with plastic film and let rest until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
4. Grease a cookie sheet and sprinkle with cornmeal. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Lightly shape into a round ball and place onto prepared cookie sheet, spray with cool water. Cover loosely with plastic film and let rest for 45-60 minutes or until almost double again.
5. Heat over to 375. Spray loaf with cool water and cut grooves into loaf in criss-cross pattern. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
6. Enjoy! I eat it with a little honey and tea or coffee on the side. :)
