Purple Wheat Bread with Goat Cheese and Truffled Honey

Purple Wheat Bread

It was most necessary for my In My Kitchen March to contain purple for I have only just emerged from the purple haze that Prince left behind in Australia at the end of February. It was an experience I will never forget. I was shocked to find that there were others ( thousands) of people that were just as ecstatic to see him as me AND that knew every word of every song too. Guess that’s why the tickets sold out in 10 minutes and I couldn’t get more than my one. I had no idea there were so many of us out there in the suburbs singing along to the perfect rise and fall of “Adore”

Purple Wheat Bread

At any rate in honour of this I found some Purple Wheat and turned it into a perfect walnut and apricot loaf. Give it a try it’s easy and great with goat cheese.

Hillview Fine Foods Blueberries

And beautiful blueberries that I bought from Hillview Fine Foods. These are grown on and around Jason’s farm in Batlow, between Wagga Wagga and Canberra. They were gorgeously fruity without being too sour.  I loved hearing his story and will be buying in future.

Purple Wheat Bread

Oh these are very special to me. They came all the way from France with a friend. We worked together a few years back- she selling cheese and me writing recipes with it. One day I cooked some Australian “Du Puy lentils ” and she hadn’t used them before either here or at home, and was amused to see me using ” French style lentils”. She has since moved back to France but when she visited this week she brought this gift for me. It means so much to me and I can’t wait to cook them. Thanks Isabel x

Purple wheat Bread

These truffled hazelnuts are going to be perfect with my Purple Wheat and honey loaf. I first tried them with  blue cheese HERE  in a post featuring the Grand Dairy Champion Cheeses in Australia for 2016. It’s an Australian product.  I am not sure what kind of honey it is made from because it crystallizes this is easily fixed with a small amount of heat. Some truffle honeys are made with Acacia honey (only from Europe and N America) as this never crystallizes, due to it’s high Fructose levels.

Purple Wheat Bread, Goat cheese and Truffled honey:

Make the bread and then try it with any kind of cheese, toasted or eaten with butter. it has a lovely nutty flavour. I ate mine with goat cheese and truffle Honey. You could also eat it with Marmalade or a Quince jam or paste would be equally as good.

Ingredients
  

  • 240 gram purple wheat flour 2 cups
  • 160 gram white or bread flour, 1/1/4 cup
  • 10 gram dried yeast 2 teaspoons
  • 50 gram butter melted
  • 50 gram honey 3 Tablespoons
  • 125 ml water 1/2 cup
  • 250 ml water Extra , to finish
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 150 gm walnuts chopped
  • 150 gm apricots chopped
  • 150 gram Goat cheese
  • 50 ml truffled honey
  • 50 gm hazelnuts roasted

Instructions
 

  • Oven Temp: 180 C / 360 F. Loaf tin 23 cm x 9 cm (9 in x 3.5 in)
  • Combine honey, 125 ml water and sprinkle with yeast. Leave in a warm place till foaming. This will take about 10 minutes
  • Put the flour, salt, yeast mixture, butter and 3/4 of the remaining water into the bowl of a mixer. Knead on low for at least 10 minutes, or until smooth and shiny and elastic. (The extra water is just in case the mixture looks a little dry. All flour is different. You need to knead the dough till it comes together in a ball though before you even consider adding extra water)
  • Mix then add nuts and apricot on low. Pour onto a bench with a little flour and just knead together.
  • The dough needs to be soft and pliable. It will be silky and smooth once done.
  • Roll into a long sausage. Fold in half and twist before putting into the well greased loaf tin ( You don't have to fold it, it just looks good).
  • Sit in a warm place till doubled in size.
  • Bake for 40-50 min in the middle of a hot oven.
  • Cool. Slice into pieces and toast. Spread with goat cheese and drizzle with Truffle honey.

    Purple wheat flour- now that’s something new. I haven’t seen it- but most fitting after the Prince concert. Great combination of flavours in your recipe.

    I now must look for purple flour! I’ve never heard of it before and am quite intrigued. Even better is the goat cheese and honey truffle hazelnuts on top of the bread, I would have to sneak it after the kids went to bed or they would try to eat it all. We are huge goat cheese and honey fans and I find I must hoarder it sometimes!
