   You can toast the walnuts in a pan or an oven (at 350 degrees F) stirring frequently until the nuts begin to color and you can smell their aroma.

   Combine the walnuts (after cooling) with the remaining ingredients in a medium sized bowl.

4. 4

   Add the wet ingredient to the dry, stirring until a shaggy ball forms.

5. 5

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 12-18 hrs.

6. 6

   Remove bread from bowl and knead 10-15 times, using just enough extra flour to keep bread from sticking to your hands or the work surface.

   Form bread into a ball and place onto an approximately 18 inch piece of parchment paper that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

8. 8

   Spray top of bread with cooking spray and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Place on a plate or 10 inch skillet and allow to rise at room temperature for 2 hrs.

9. 9

   30 minutes before bread is done rising preheat a dutch oven in an oven at 425 degrees F.
