Walnut apple and Stilton bread

  • I was recently looking around Chatsworth house farm shop and they had some delicious looking breads on offer- the Stilton and walnut cob looked really tasty but at over pour pounds each I couldn't justify paying just for a little taste! I decided to try to make a similar bread at home and found this recipe on the baking inspiration website. I've modified it slightly as I felt the loaf was not salty enough, and instead of fresh apples I added dried apples from the whole foods section of the supermarket.

  • 300g White Bread Flour
  • 200g Wholemeal Flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 pack yeast
  • 25g butter
  • 300ml warm water
  • 150g stilton, finely crumbled
  • A handful of walnuts, chopped
  • Handful of chopped dried apples
  • Yoghurt/milk mix to glaze

  1. Mix the flour, salt, sugar, butter, yeast, water into a dough and knead for 8 minutes.
  2. Prove in a warm place for 1 ½ hours. Knock back and knead in the walnuts, 1/3 of the stilton, and dried apple. Make into two round loaves and prove for another hour.
  3. Preheat an oven to 200ºC conventional, 180ºC fan, gas 6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, brushing with the yoghurt/milk mix and sprinkling over remaining stilton half way through cooking.
