Description
Savor the flavors of cranberry walnut and cinnamon in this artisan bread Perfect for toasting or as a gourmet treat every day
3 cups of all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) of active dry yeast
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of warm water (110°F/43°C)
¼ cup of honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
½ cup of dried cranberries
½ cup of raisins
½ cup of walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon of olive oil (for greasing the bowl)
Activate the yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Combine wet and dry: Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture and stir until it begins to come together.
Add the mix-ins: Gently fold in the cranberries, raisins, and chopped walnuts with a spatula.
Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
First rise: Grease a large bowl with olive oil, place your dough in it, and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm spot for about 1-2 hours.
Shape the loaf: Punch down the dough gently and turn it onto a floured surface. Shape it into a round loaf, tucking the edges underneath.
Second rise: Place the shaped dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover loosely with a cloth, and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) about 15 minutes before baking.
Bake the bread: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Cool it down: Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
