Wholemeal Cranberry Walnut Bread

Was thinking of making pumpkin bread but yeast decided not to ferment in the milk. So, decided to make another batch using water instead. This will be my go to soft bread from now on:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup warm water
2 tbsp honey
1 packet active dry yeast

1 cup wholemeal flour or AP flour (or Plain flour)
1 cup bread flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp brown sugar (or white sugar)
1 large egg
2 tbsp macadamia or walnut oil (or any oil of your choice)

dried cranberries, chopped slightly
walnuts, chopped

Direction:

1. In a jug: Ferment yeast in honey water for around 1/2 hour or longer.
2. Metal bowl: sift wholemeal flour and bread flour. Add in salt and sugar. Using Spatula - mix all dry ingredients together. Make a well in the center.
3. Add in beaten egg, oil and yeast mixture. 
4. Using spatula, mix dry and wet ingredients together until dough forms.
5. Oil hand with knead 3-5 times. Drop some oil onto the metal bowl to grease it and leave dough inside to proof. Cover bowl with cling wrap and let stand for around 1-2 hours to proof.
6. Put baking paper in a square pan and set aside. Uses 9 x 9 inch pan.
7. Wet hand and punch dough down. Divide dough into 6 portion (Dough weigh 612 gm, 1 portion = 102 gm)
8. Wet hand agan - Roll 1 portion of dough with dried cranberries and walnuts into oblong shape. Set inside the prepared baking pan. Continue with the rest of the dough making sure to wet hand first. Once done, set aside again to let it proof to double its size, around another 1-2 hours.
9. To bake, put a ice water bath below the oven and bake the bread at 160 degC for 20 minutes

This bread is soft, very soft on the inside and crusty on the outside. May substitute any dried fruits or nuts for a more wholesome goodness. Love its texture. My girl eat this as a sandwich coz she brought it to school for lunch.
