Our Walnut Levain loaf begins with our ‘Pain au Levain dough’ with the addition of chopped fresh California walnuts. The walnuts react naturally with the Levain starter during the baking process and give the crumb of the loaf a slightly purple hue. The baker gives it a criss-cross score on top to allow it to open during the baking process. The loaf has a crispy robust crust and a moist, tangy, walnut-studded crumb.

Suggested Uses: Walnut Levain can be used for toast with jam, grilled cheese, fondue, cheese platters, and much more. Of course, people with walnut allergies should avoid this bread!
