Bread no. 14 : walnut bread.
Adjustments : halved the recipe, added 1/4 C dried cranberries and subsutuited vingar and milk for buttermilk. I also didn't chop the oats in a food processor because that seems like a lot of work for little reward.
Notes : I've made this a few times. Notably, last Thanksgiving. I always forget how difficult this recipe is compared to other breads. (By this, I mean that you have to dirty a lot of measuring cups.) It's also pretty tricky to get the consistency right - I feel like I end up adding a lot of extra flour to make the dough not too sticky. Added cranberries this time on Paul's recommendation. Good call, Paul.
Review : OH MAN, out of control good. I know I have already said that one of the loaves on 1-13 was best, but that was a lie. THIS BREAD is best. I can't even tell you why it turned out so good this time, but I think it's because I hand kneaded it at the end (for about five minutes). WOW though. SO GREAT.
