Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter

  • 85g whole wheat flour

  • 85g all purpose flour

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp baking soda

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 2 Tbsp sage, chopped

  • 1 ½ cups toasted pecans

  • ½ cup buttermilk

  • 1 egg

  • Honey

  • Butter

Method: Binging With Babish’s Direwolf Bread

  1. Start by browning ½ cup of butter in a saucepan and then place it in a small bowl. Put in freezer until completely frozen.

  2. Next combe 85 grams each of whole wheat flour and all purpose flour. Add ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp baking soda and ¼ cup white sugar. Whisk to combine.

  3. Add your frozen butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork and knife to cut up the butter and combine it until butter pieces are about the size of a pea. Chop some sage and add that to the mixture as well.

  4. Toast about 1 ⅓ cups of pecans and let them cool completely before adding to the mixture and tossing to combine.

  5. Add ½ cup of buttermilk and fold gently to combine.

  6. Flour your work surface and turn out your mixture. Work in the flour just a little bit before making it into a disc large enough to make a direwolf from it. Cut the direwolf out from this template.

  7. Brush the wolf down with a beaten egg and bake at 425°F for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

  8. Cool on a rack. While it’s cooling, combine 2 parts butter to 1 part honey for a delicious honey butter mixture to put on your direwolf scone.

  9. Serve and enjoy!
