Pain aux Noix

The basic dough for this ‘pain aux noix’ can be varied to make different types of bread. For ‘pain aux raisins’, substitute raisins for the nuts, but use a slightly smaller quantity. When neither nuts nor raisins are included, the recipe becomes ‘pain de campagne’; this can be baked in the same way, as cakes, or shaped into oval loaves and baked on a buttered baking sheet.
