Christmasbread with walnuts and cried cranberries.  
(printout version)

Ingredients for a large bread (more than 1 kilo):
250 gram flour
250 gram wholemeal/whole wheat
3,25 dl buttermilk
50 cc walnut oil
40 cc maple syrup (approx. 2½ tablespoon)
1 teaspoon salt
7 gram dry yeast
75 gram walnuts, coarsely chopped
75 gram dried cranberries

Preparation in advance:
Mix flour, whole wheat meal, yeast and salt. Add buttermilk, oil and syrup. Knead until you:ve got a supple, elastic bread dough. Then add walnuts and cranberries. Let dough rise for thirty minutes, knead through once more and give the bread any shape you want. Let it rise for another half hour.

Preparation:
This bread can be baked in a mould or on a baking tin. The dough can also be divided into small breads. The bread can be decorated with walnuts and guilded with egg yolk, egg or milk.
Preheat the oven to 200EC/390EF. Bake the bread in the middle of the oven. Small breads are done in twenty minutes, a large bread needs about fifty minutes. Tap the bread with a wooden spoon. If it sounds hollow, the bread is done.

To serve:
With a brunch, sprinkled with icing sugar. Or with the cheese after a meal (but without the icing sugar).
The bread on the picture is baked in a christmas tree mould. The fresh cranberries were fixed with little wooden pins after baking.

Enjoy!
