Ingredients

• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, brown sugar, and instant yeast. Stir gently to dissolve the yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the whole wheat flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until it forms a rough dough.

Step 3

Incorporate the olive oil and continue kneading the dough for about 8-10 minutes on a lightly floured surface until it's smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Fold in the chopped walnuts into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Place the dough back into the mixing bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release some air. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Step 7

Cover the loaf with the towel again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until it's golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
