Serves 4

• 100g walnuts

How to make walnut bread

1. Place the nuts into a frying pan with a splash of oil on a medium heat, keep your eye on them as they will go from golden, crunchy and nutty to black and bitter in the blink on an eye. When the nuts are cooked season with a squeeze of honey and a good sprinkle of salt. Leave to cool.

2. Place the flour into a mixing bowl followed by the salt. Place the yeast and sugar into a measuring jug and fill with warm water mix until the yeast has dissolved. Pour the liquid into the flour a little at a time until a dough is formed. Cover with a tea towel and leave to prove for 30 minutes (or until it has doubled in size). Put onto a floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes. Put onto a baking tray and leave to prove for another 30 minutes (or again, until it has doubled in size).

3. Preheat oven to 180°C and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden (when tapped, the base should sound hollow).
