Walnut bread

This was such an unusual, delicious, pleasant surprise! A hearty and savory quick bread stuffed with nuts. And like any good bread, it made the house smell incredible. 

Wet
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour 
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder 
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
  • dash salt 
Dry
  • 4 eggs 
  • 1/2 c buttermilk or plain yogurt (I used sheep yogurt -- mm!) 
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil 
  • 3 tablespoons walnut oil 
  •  2 cups chopped walnuts 

Sift dry, mix wet, combine, fold in nuts. 
Scrape into buttered or oiled loaf pan. 
Bake 375F/175C for approx 50 minutes (but start checking on it after 30). 
Extra-super good as toast with butter.
