Tips

 * Chopped walnuts, are particularly good in this bread, but your favorite nuts will do.
 * If cooking in a Dutch oven, preheat with about 14 charcoal briquettes, with about 10 or 11 on top and 3 or 4 on the bottom. If you're cooking outdoors, you'll have to use a hand mixer or a strong arm with the spoon.
