GOOD EATS CRANBERRY WALNUT BREAD image

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons water at 90 degrees
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon dried cranberries
1 stick melted unsalted butter (used to brush on loaves before and after baking)

Steps:

In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve yeast in water. Add all of the whole wheat flour and mix on low speed for 1 minute. Add canola oil, brown sugar, bread flour and salt. Mix on medium-low speed for 3 minutes. Add walnuts and cranberries and mix on low speed for 3 minutes. Place dough in a large greased bowl and cover. Allow to rise in a warm place. After 1/2 hour, punch down and let rise another 1/2 hour. Divide dough in half and form each into a ball. Place on flour-dusted cookie sheet. Cover and allow to rise 1/2 hour. Pat dough down, keeping it in a circle shape. Fold top down, fold over each side and continue to roll top down, pinch bottom seam together. Place in greased loaf pans. Brush tops with a little oil and cover. Allow to double in size, 1 to 2 hours. Brush tops with cooled melted butter before baking. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 40 to 50 minutes. You may have to cover with parchment paper halfway through to keep bread from getting too brown. Bread is done when you lightly tap with fingernail and it sounds hollow. Reheat remaining butter. When bread is done, brush with butter. Allow to cool down before slicing.
