Ingredients
500 gms of flour
10 gms of salt
10 gms of water (approx.)
300 gms of Baker’s yeast
2 handfuls of California walnuts
For the Walnut honey:
100 gms of shelled walnuts
65 gms of honey
15 gms of butter
Preparations:
- In a bowl, mix flour and salt well.
- Make a hole in the center and add crumbled yeast.
- Wet with water slowly and knead with hands until you reach a good mass.
- Continue kneading by stretching and gathering the dough until it is uniform (if your cough is very soft, add a little more flour).
- Make into a ball.
- Roll the ball over walnuts and insert them into the dough.
- Continue kneading, but with more force.
- Cut the dough and shape them into bars.
- Place in the oven on a dish lined with nonstick foil.
- Use a knife to decorate with superficial cross cuts.
- Let the bars cook at 170-180 ° C until they double in volume.
- Allow them to cool before serving.
For the Walnut honey:
- Prepare a flat surface (can be your pan) and cover it with foil or vegetable oil.
- Put the honey and butter into a pan (use a pan that has a thick base so it offers uniform heat diffusion).
- Put on medium heat and stir occasionally with a silicone spatula so that the butter and honey merge.
- Then incorporate the walnuts so that they are almost covered with honey.
- Stir from time to time.
- Let the water evaporate as the walnuts caramelize.
- When the nuts have caramelized, pour the honey onto parchment paper and separate so when it cools it does not stick together.
- Let stand and cool completely.
- Put the walnut honey into a jar with a tight lid and keep stored until time of consumption.
How to eat:
- Toast the walnut bread.
- Slice cheese and put on top of the walnut bread.
- Spread a tablespoon of walnut honey on top of the cheese.
- Enjoy!
