I agree with many of the other comments, this is quick to rise and an odd off brown colour when baked. But this is tasty bread and it freezes well. 20 June 2020 3 star rating Slightly disappointing as it was a beautiful pink on the outside after baking, but a sludgy brown inside when cut. Tasted good though. 01 June 2020 5 star rating Used poppyseeds as didn’t have walnuts.The bread became really delicious.Note, time to rise was very short, so watch out not to overprove it. 30 May 2020 4 star rating Had lots of beetroot to use up from a veg box and this is great!

However, please feel free to have a go - we'd love to know how you get on!

Bread flour has higher gluten levels than culinary flours such as plain or self-raising. Very strong bread flour has an even higher gluten level so can be used to produce a higher rise loaf. Good for white loaves, pizza dough and pasta. 1 tsp Silver Spoon Caster Sugar 1 Allinson Easy Bake Yeast Sachet 225ml Warm Water 70g Walnuts (Chopped) 1 tsp Ground Allspice 1 tsp Salt Recipe Alternatives Cheese and onion bread Cheese and onion bread Total 55m Serves 1 Skill Easy Diet Rating 5 star rating Crusty White Plait Crusty White Plait Total 3h 5m Serves 8 Skill Easy Diet EF/Veg Rating 5 star rating Classic White Bread Loaf Classic White Bread Loaf Total 2h 55m Makes 1 Skill Easy Diet EF/Veg Rating 5 star rating
