Ingredients
- 240 gram purple wheat flour 2 cups
- 160 gram white or bread flour, 1/1/4 cup
- 10 gram dried yeast 2 teaspoons
- 50 gram butter melted
- 50 gram honey 3 Tablespoons
- 125 ml water 1/2 cup
- 250 ml water Extra , to finish
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 150 gm walnuts chopped
- 150 gm apricots chopped
- 150 gram goat cheese
- 50 ml honey truffled flavor
- 50 gm hazelnut roasted
Instructions
- Oven Temp: 180 C / 360 F. Loaf tin 23 cm x 9 cm (9 in x 3.5 in)
- Combine honey, 125 ml water and sprinkle with yeast. Leave in a warm place till foaming. This will take about 10 minutes
- Put the flour, salt, yeast mixture, butter and 3/4 of the remaining water into the bowl of a mixer. Knead on low for at least 10 minutes, or until smooth and shiny and elastic. (The extra water is just in case the mixture looks a little dry. All flour is different. You need to knead the dough till it comes together in a ball though before you even consider adding extra water)
- Mix then add nuts and apricot on low. Pour onto a bench with a little flour and just knead together.
- The dough needs to be soft and pliable. It will be silky and smooth once done.
- Roll into a long sausage. Fold in half and twist before putting into the well greased loaf tin ( You don't have to fold it, it just looks good).
- Sit in a warm place till doubled in size.
- Bake for 40-50 min in the middle of a hot oven.
- Cool. Slice into pieces and toast. Spread with goat cheese and drizzle with Truffle honey.
