My preferred honey for sugar replacement in most bread is chestnut honey. It’s really weird tasting and I don’t really like it for anything else, but for some reason it’s absolutely amazing baked in bread.
Hell yeah walnuts are a fav and I can see that working. I’ve used chestnut honey it for everything from sandwich bread to pizza dough and even doughnuts and it hasn’t let me down. Sweet and savoury recipes have both been consistently enjoyable and made me burn through the honey super fast. In my family we use cotton bread bags and the odd time we don’t finish it before it starts to get hard, we toast it and make ice cream sandwiches with real bread, in a bowl because it drips a lot when the bread is hot. Maple walnut ice cream sandwich with chestnut honey generic loaf was one of the highest rated among friends and family. IIRC it was something along the lines of Joe’s basic sandwich bread recipe which suggested increasing the honey amount so I doubled it for that oven fresh bread inhaler experience.

Chatgpt suggests that it would be a good idea to use chestnut honey with nuts like walnut incorporated in the dough. Thoughts?
