Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular milk instead of sour milk?

Yes, you can substitute regular milk by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for about 5 minutes to create a sour effect, which will work well in this recipe.

What types of nuts work best in this recipe?

Chopped walnuts and pecans are great choices for this recipe, as they add a rich flavor and texture. However, feel free to experiment with almonds or hazelnuts to suit your taste preferences.

Can I make this bread gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute the graham flour and white flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend designed for baking. Just ensure that it includes a binding agent like xanthan gum for the best texture.
