Walnuts give your bread a particularly delicious flavor. We also use a combination of spelt and oat flour here. It tastes especially good when freshly milled, no doubt about it. This recipe can easily be made vegan by replacing the milk with a plant-based milk alternative, such as soy milk.

Ingredients

• 500 g freshly ground spelt flour
• 200 g freshly ground oat flour
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 cube of yeast (40 g)
• 1 tsp sugar beet syrup
• 150 g coarsely chopped walnuts
• 2 tbsp walnut oil
• 3 tablespoons lukewarm milk (or plant-based milk)
• Flour for working and for the baking sheet
