Nuts & Raisin Bread
by
Fort Negen
This Nuts & Raisin Bread contains loads of hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, and delicious raisins. It can be either savory or sweet, and you'll want this bread for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
We use the nuts mentioned above, but you can stick to one type, use different ones, or even leave them all out for a delicious raisin loaf!
The bread syrup is made from soaking old toasted bread, and reducing the liquid with some sugar. You can leave this ingredient out of the recipe or, if you want a bit of sweetness, add a syrup like maple with half the weight mentioned in the recipe.

Add 100g of stone-ground wholemeal flour. Mix with the hook attachment on medium-low speed until fully combined
