Yield: Two 20-ounce loaves.
Whisk glaze ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate. Stir
together the warm water, yeast and honey. Let stand until foamy,
about 5 minutes. Mix in butter, salt, non-fat dry milk and 2 cups of
the white flour. Beat until smooth and creamy. Beat in remaining
white flour, whole wheat flour, oat bran and ground hazelnuts. Knead
until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk.
Punch down and turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide dough in
half and shape into two round loaves, about 7 inches in diameter.
Cover and let rise until almost doubled and a slight indentation
remains when lightly touched with fingertip. Brush loaves with egg
yolk glaze and sprinkle each loaf with 1 tablespoon oatmeal and 1
tablespoon coarsely chopped hazelnuts. Bake in a 350 oven for 25
minutes, or until golden.
