Plan ahead for this easy bread—an overnight or all-day rise gives it terrific flavor. For the best crust, bake in a ceramic bread crock, or a covered clay baker. Walnuts sometimes give this bread a faint purple tinge. If this bothers you, use pecans instead. Using High-Gluten Flour, with its higher protein level, allows this bread to rise higher than it will with all-purpose flour.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts

  • 1/2 cup golden raisins

  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries

  • 1 3/4 cups cool water

  • 1/2 tsp. instant yeast

  • 2 tsp. Salt

  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour

  • 3 1/4 cups High-Gluten Flour

Method

  • 01
    Mix the flours, salt, yeast, and water in a large bowl. Stir, then use your hands to mix and form a sticky dough.
  • 02
    Work the dough just enough to incorporate all the flour, then work in the fruit and nuts.
  • 03
    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature overnight, or for at least 8 hours; it'll become bubbly and rise quite a bit, so use a large bowl.
  • 04
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and form it into a log or round loaf to fit your 14" to 15" long lidded stoneware baker; 9" x 12" oval deep casserole dish with cover; or 9" to 10" round lidded baking crock.
  • 05
    Place the dough in the lightly greased pan, smooth side up. Cover and let rise at room temperature for about 2 hours, until it's become puffy. It should rise noticeably, but it's not a real high-riser.
  • 06
    Using a sharp knife or lame, slash the bread in a crosshatch pattern. Place the lid on the pan, and put the bread in the cold oven. Set the oven temperature to 450°F.
  • 07
    Bake the bread for 45 to 50 minutes, then remove the lid and continue to bake for another 5 to 15 minutes, until it's deep brown in color, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers about 205°F. Remove the bread from the oven, turn out onto a rack, and cool before slicing.
