Ingredients
2 1/2
cups
sprouted white wheat flour
3/4
cup
cup organic sugar (this bread presents better using a lighter colored sugar source)
1/2
cup
chopped walnuts
2
teaspoons
aluminum-free baking powder
2
teaspoons
dried rosemary (I chop it slightly in a coffee grinder)
1/4
teaspoon
sea salt
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2
large organic or pastured eggs, lightly beaten
3/4
cup
sweet white wine (can substitute apple juice)
1/2
cup
extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Lightly coat a 9.5" x 5" loaf pan with butter.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, walnuts, baking powder, rosemary, salt, and lemon zest.
In another medium bowl, blend the eggs, wine, and olive oil.
Stir into the dry ingredients.
Transfer the batter into loaf pan and smooth the surface.
Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack 15-20 minutes before removing from pan.
