Oatmeal Maple Nut Bread
1 1/3 cups water
6 Tbsp. maple syrup
2 tsp. yeast
2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup toasted oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3 cups bread flour
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted

Heat water until warm, between 105ºF and 115ºF. Add maple syrup and yeast. Let stand 5 minutes.

Stir in salt, oats, wheat flour and half the bread flour. Beat well. Cover and let rest 15 minutes. Slowly add remaining bread flour. Mix until dough forms. Knead on medium speed until dough is smooth and springy but soft to the touch. Knead in walnuts. Cover and let rise one hour.

Punch dough down and divide into 2 to 3 balls. Shape into round loaves and place on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Glaze with egg and water mixture and sprinkle with additional oats. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Bake 35 to 40 minutes until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.
