Honey Walnuts Rye Sticks

Honey and walnuts, Rye....that is my favorite combination of bread. I made stick bread. These are handy for breakfast. When I don't have time to have breakfast as sitting down, just grab sticks and bite as walking to work.

But I prefer having these sticks as toast with butter , tea and sitting down !!

Sourdough starter is made from Rye flour and White flour of mixture. The bread contain 70% White flour and 30% Rye flour. So it is not so dark color.
You can enjoy crunchy crust and walnuts. Natural sweet from honey and sourdough.
