What went well?
This is one of my favorite loaves. It's got a really nice, subtle turmeric flavor balanced with slight sweetness from the walnuts and hazelnuts. Crust is amazing!
What didn't?
I am always experimenting a little with this recipe, so stay tuned.

Other notes
This loaf is inspired by a turmeric veinnese bread they used to have at Maison Kayser (RIP US subsidiary). I combined the dough recipe from the Perfect Loaf's Simple Weekday Sourdough with the build/bake instructions from the Perfect Loaf's Cranberry Walnut bread recipe. I always halve the recipe because I typically only bake 1 loaf a time. For this loaf, I add 5g turmeric when mixing the flours (and before I add any water). Then I fold in 100g toasted hazelnuts and 100g toasted walnuts during the 2nd stretch and fold.

December 16, 2020I just updated with some detail on the recipe, but basically frankenstein'd two Perfect Loaf recipes to make this happen. I've been pretty lax on documenting details when I bake, so truth be told things are a little different each time!
