Whole wheat bread with walnuts - Pane integrale alle noci - Integralni kruh s orasima

This time the story begins from its end. The story begins when the hot and sweet smell starts to fill my kitchen. Its sound is dull and echoing. The crust is rumbling and crisp. When all these things happen, the bread is ready. It doesn't matter if it's simple white bread, or some of those coloured strange breads that I like to bake when I find some inspiring natural dye, the most beautiful moment is when I divide the smoking and hot breathing bread. I look at it searching countless cavities that have trapped the air, same cavities that I was searching while it was raising, still and pampered under the blanket to warm its rest.
Because I like to spoil my bread, I gently place it in its bowl, I let him breath and grow. It has his special place protected from the wind and air flows. It has its own blanket and its feather pillow...




This time the story begins when the old season has finally decided to leave the space to the new one. Brown and dry walnuts shells were opened and their oily fruits still nice and tasty, went out with difficulty. New born walnuts start to fall from the giant try in the garden. Giant green walnuts cover soft and mossy soil. Some of those green fruits are already nice and tasty. The shells of new walnuts is already so hard and difficult to open.






Baking bread is better then any sort of meditation! It takes time, its time, the right time span. There is no space for improvisation. Making bread keeps me waiting until it comes out from the oven to see if my bread would be exactly as I have imagined it would look like. I keep waiting patiently with all possible doubts until the end. Until I divide the bread searing my hands, because every time is like the first time! And it's fulfilling, it's exciting, it's simply beautiful. And it smells divinely.
I'm still baking the bread with brewer's yeast, I still haven't found enough self confidence to start producing my own sourdough.
For the time being it's working so well, with all sort of flours and ingredients.
This time the weather was so dry and hot, the perfect match for well raising dough. And the choice of ingredients was perfect as well, a bit rustic, a bit unusual, but its flavour is really good. Especially with some butter and a good honey for breakfast!

150 gr all-purpose flour
100 gr whole wheat flour
70 gr walnuts cut in pieces
