Winter Hazelnut Bread

Hazelnuts are a prominent food during the
month of October. They are used for charms and divination.

To make hazelnut bread:
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon lukewarm water
3 teaspoons yeast
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup toasted, chopped hazelnuts
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups white flour
Cornmeal

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the butter, sugar, and
salt. Mix until smooth. Add hazelnuts and both flours. Knead the
mixture for ten minutes, then let the dough rest for fifteen minutes.
Form the dough into a round loaf, and place it on a cookie sheet
dusted with cornmeal. Let it rise until it is doubled in size. With a
sharp knife cut a cross on top in honor of the four elements. Bake
the bread in a 400-degree oven until it is nicely browned, about
twenty to twenty-five minutes. String nine hazelnuts
on a red cord, and hang it in your home for luck and money.
