Versatile breads that are good served with cheese, spread with butter and jam at teatime, or paired with a main-course salad. Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour |
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour |
1/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
1 cup walnuts, toasted, chopped |
1 cup chilled buttermilk |
1 large egg |
2 tablespoons mild-flavored (light) molasses |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly flour large baking sheet. Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend well. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in toasted, chopped walnuts. Whisk buttermilk, egg and molasses in small bowl to blend. Gradually add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, stirring until medium-firm dough forms.
