Leek And Walnut Bread Abm Food

LEEK AND WALNUT BREAD (ABM)

Steps:

• Add bread flour, whole-wheat flour, 1 1/2 cups water, oregano leaves, salt, and yeast to bread machine according to manufacturer's directions.
• Select dough cycle. At end of cycle, scrape dough onto a lightly floured board. Knead in leeks and walnuts.
• Scrape dough onto a well-floured board and knead briefly to expel air. With lightly floured hands, gather into a ball, then stretch and tuck edges under to shape into a smooth oval with slightly tapered ends (about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide in the center).
• Place loaf on a well-floured surface, dust lightly with flour, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise at room temperature until it's slightly puffy and holds the imprint of a finger when lightly pressed, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Sprinkle a 13- by 17-inch baking sheet generously with cornmeal. Transfer loaf to sheet.
• With a sharp knife, make three diagonal slashes 1 inch deep and 1 to 2 inches apart across loaf top. Place sheet on rack in lower third of a 450° regular or convection oven.
• Or, if using a baking stone, gently slide edge of cornmeal-covered baking sheet under loaf and lift it onto end of sheet. Slash as directed above, then gently slide loaf onto one side of stone in oven.
• Spray 3 to 4 squirts of water on floor or sides of oven, taking care not to spray near heating element or lightbulb, then quickly close door.
• Bake bread, spraying twice more at 5-minute intervals during the first 10 minutes of baking, until crust is well browned, 35 to 45 minutes total.
• Transfer loaf to a rack to cool for at least 1 hour. Store in a paper bag at room temperature up to 2 days. To recrisp the crust, place loaf directly on a rack in a 400° oven and bake for about 5 minutes.

LEEK, GOAT'S CHEESE, WALNUT & LEMON TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, then add the butter. Once sizzling, add the leeks and cook over a medium heat until softened but not coloured. Stir in the thyme and half the lemon zest, then increase the heat. Add the lemon juice and cook for about 30 secs until the lemon juice reduces, then season well. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
• Unroll the pastry and lay on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Lightly mark a 1cm border around the edges with the tip of a sharp knife, then prick the base all over with a fork.
• Spread the lemony leeks on top of the pastry, within the border. Crumble over the cheese, scatter with the walnuts, then season with pepper. Drizzle with some olive oil, brushing the edges with a little oil as well. Put tart in the oven for 15-20 mins until the pastry puffs up around the edges and is golden brown. Scatter with parsley and the remaining lemon zest. Serve hot, warm or cool.

CRANBERRY WALNUT BREAD

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients (except the cranberries and the walnuts) in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Light Crust and Sweet Cycle and press Start.
• If your machine has a Fruit setting, add the cranberries and walnuts at the signal, or around 5 minutes before the kneading cycle has finished.

FIG WALNUT YEAST BREAD (ABM)

Steps:

• 1. Place ingredients in pan insert in order of manufacturer's instructions. Use raisin bread cycle if possible, adding fruit and nuts at beep.
• 2. After machine starts mixing, check to see if more water is needed. Add by tablespoonsful.

APPLE WALNUT BREAD (BREAD MACHINE - ABM)

Steps:

• All ingredients should be at room temperature.
• Place ingredients into your bread machine as the instructions that came with it direct. Mine are the following:.
• Add liquid ingredients to the bread pan.
• Add all dry ingredients, except yeast, to the pan.
• Form a well in dry ingredients and carefully pour in the yeast.
• Bake on "Sweet" Bread setting and choose your crust color, if applicable.
• Press start!
• (Note: The directions don't indicate to add the walnuts at the "beep", where you'd normally add fruit or nuts. Of course, you may hold them out and add them at the beep if you prefer.).

SALLY LUNN BREAD (ABM)

Steps:

• Mix as per manufacturer's instructions.
• If you want to finish the baking process in a normal oven, take dough out of machine after the kneading has been done and before the proofing starts.
• Put it into a greased bowl and leave it until doubled in size.
• Take dough out of bowl. Punch it down. Roll dough into a 1-inch high oval, roll it up from the shorter side and pinch the seams together as you roll the dough up.
• Put dough into a 5 x 8 (or 9) inch loaf tin.
• When it has doubled in size, pop it into the pre-heated oven at 350F for about 45 minutes.
• When done, remove from tin and cool on a rack. A hollow sound when you tap the bottom indicates its doneness.
• Enjoy it on its own (I like it lightly toasted) or with Jam or PB.

WALNUT BREAD

Steps:

• Toast walnuts in an oven or under the broiler. Set aside to cool.
• Place yeast in a large mixing bowl. Mix salt into 2 cups (473 milliliters) lukewarm water. Stir into yeast. Stir in maple syrup and 2 tablespoons oil.
• Measure 1 cup of the toasted walnuts, place in a food processor with 2 tablespoons of the whole-wheat flour and process until finely ground. Add to bowl along with remaining whole-wheat flour. Stir with a wooden spoon.
• Add bread flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough forms and leaves the sides of the bowl. (At this point you're better off mixing with your hands.) Turn dough out onto a floured work surface. Continue adding bread flour, kneading as you go, until you have a dough that's a bit on the soft side, only slightly sticky and easy to handle.
• Clean out your bowl, coat it with 1 tablespoon oil, and place dough back into the bowl, turning it so it's oiled all over. Cover with a cloth and set aside to rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch the dough down, add remaining toasted walnuts and lightly knead them into the dough. Dust a spacious baking sheet with cornmeal. Divide the dough in half, shape into 2 balls and place on the baking sheet. Cover loosely and let rise for an hour.
• Place the oven rack in the lowest position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Slash the tops of the breads with a razor or a lame (a baker's blade). Do not be tentative about this step; your slashes should be a good half-inch deep, done with a firm, even hand.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven. Throw a handful of ice cubes on the floor of the oven to create steam. Bake 20 minutes. By this time the breads should be a nice honey-brown. Brush them with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, reduce heat to 350 degrees, add more ice cubes and bake about 25 minutes longer, until the breads are well browned and sound hollow when tapped. Allow to cool at least 1 hour before cutting.

WALNUT BEER BREAD (ABM)

Steps:

• Put everything in the bread machine according to manufacturer's instructions.
