Honey Twist Bread

Honey Twist Bread

1-1/2 TBS Yeast
2 C warm water
1-1/2 tsp salt
2 TBS honey
5 C whole wheat flour

-mix water and yeast. Add rest of ingredients and 3 C of flour. Cover and LET RISE an hour, until doubled in size. Add rest of flour and LET RISE AGAIN. Knead on counter and divide in half. Cut each half in half, roll out four ‘worms’ then twist two of them together at a time. LET RISE again on large red silicon mat (that's what I use for non-stick) in a cookie sheet with sides.

1/4 C honey
2 TBS butter
2/3 C chopped walnuts

-melt butter and honey in a saucepan. Food process walnuts and put in a bowl. 'Paint' the risen bread on one side with the melted honey and butter, using a pastry brush, turn it over and paint rest of it, using ALL of it, just soak it :) Sprinkle walnuts on top of honey. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
