5Lightly flour a work surface and scatter 1/2 cup of nuts onto flour. Turn dough out onto nuts and sprinkle the dough with the remaining nuts. Knead by hand until all of the nuts are combined with dough.

6Butter 2 loaf pans or molds. Divide the dough in half and shape loaves to fit each pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in bulk.
