Carrot & Walnut Bread
Very easy and satisfying to make. Delicious with cheese or simply with a knob of butter.
1. Gently heat the yogurt and milk in a microwave or over a pan of simmering water.
2. Mix the yeast and sugar in a bowl and add the yogurt mixture, set aside for 10 minutes.
3. Take the flour, salt, muesli, carrot and walnuts place in a mixing bowl or food processor and make a well in the centre, pour in the yeast mixture and then add the oil. Mix until a dough is formed. If the mixture is a little dry add a touch more yogurt or a little water.
4. Transfer to a floured surface and knead. Place the dough back into the bowl and leave in a warm dry place covered with a damp tea towel or oiled cling-film for approximately 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in size.
5. Meanwhile grease and base line a 1.5kg loaf tin or simply oil a baking tray.
6. Take the dough, knock back by kneading, ensure the dough is smooth and place in the prepared tin or mould onto the prepared tray. Leave in a warm place once more until double in size again.
7. Bake the bread until golden. Tip: bread is cooked when the bottom sounds hollow.
8. Remove the bread from the tin and place on a wire rack.
Try as an accompaniment with a bowl of soup or with some blue veined cheese.
