Experiments in (Stress) Baking (cont.)

I went back to the dry yeast no-knead loaf recipe today. Half strong white flour, half local coarse wheat. Thing One had an additional one cup walnuts kneaded in.

The loaves are nearly identical with a good rise and round shape, if not high and fluffy. Soft texture and open interior crumb. Thing One is a bit darker due to the walnuts. The flavor is nicely walnut-y but not overwhelmingly so; I probably could have increased the amount.

When you're kneading in the walnuts, what size pieces are you using?

Trader Joe's baking pieces. They're pretty small.
