Cranberry Walnut

[chopsaw]

Did this one yesterday , mixed in with yard work . I missed my peak of the starter , so I added 1/2 tsp of yeast for some insurance .
Had about 20 bucks in walnuts and dried cranberries . Wasn't going to risk it not rising .

Got it all mixed . Followed the instructions for the add ins . I didn't get them all in , because it was bulking as I was doing that , and I didn't want to deflate it .
Used a towel in my proofing bowl so the berries wouldn't stain it .
Let it proof in the fridge for an hour . I probably didn't need the extra yeast , but that's OK . I do that to some degree most of the time . Just how I do it .

Had a lot of flour on it . I was worried about it sticking to the towel .
Didn't get the color I was hoping for .

Bottom looked good .

Need to work on the add ins . Not to bad though .

Had some this morning . My goodness it's good .
Made great toast , and gonna have to use some for French toast .
Great flavor in this . Would also make a good turkey sandwich .

Got one to do today . Heating up the bread oven now . I have light wheat
that I mixed up yesterday with this one , but held it overnight in the fridge .

You are becoming a master baker Rich, nice work! I'm loving French toast made with sourdough, cook up a little bacon to go with it, makes me think of The Bear every time. RAY

Thanks . Probably over doing it , but it's a bunch of fun to do .

Oh yeah . Regular toast too . This one is really good . That toasted flavor from the walnuts would be great for french toast .

I'll have to try some sourdough the next time we make French toast. Love bacon with it too!

I noticed that walnuts are nearly as expensive as pecans now. That's not cool, walnut growers.....

I would love a hunk of that slathered in Danish Creamery butter.

That has been my favorite slatherin butter for a while now. The regular is better than the 'euro' version. Food Lion runs it on sale every 6 weeks or so. I buy 2 when it's bogo, same price as store brand that way.

I've been eating it plain . Huge flavor in this one . Toasted some this morning and just used some average butter . Still good , but high end butter would be great .
My Son is a dairy manager at a local grocery . He comes home with all kinds of good stuff . Butter included .

Thanks . I did it during the stretch and folds . I think next time I'll roll it out flat and fold it in .
It was bulking up fast , so I didn't get it all in .
