Noisette Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour (For Milk and Water Bread)
• 1.25 cups Water (For Milk and Water Bread)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (For Milk and Water Bread)
• 2 tablespoons Molasses
• 1 cup English walnut meats or pecan nuts (Broken in small pieces)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (For spreading)
• 0.5 cup Orange marmalade

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, water, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
2. 2Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
3. 3Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
4. 4Punch down the dough. Add the molasses and broken walnuts or pecans. Knead to distribute evenly.
5. 5Shape the dough into a loaf. Place in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
6. 6Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool completely.
7. 7Let the bread stand for twenty-four hours before slicing.
8. 8Slice the bread as thinly as possible. Spread sparingly and evenly with butter. Put orange marmalade between slices. Remove crusts, cut in fancy shapes, and garnish with nut meats (optional).
