Ingredients

150g Grower's Selection Asparagus, woody stems removed

1tsp rapeseed oil

500g Asda White Bread Mix

2tbsp sundried tomato pesto

3 sundried tomatoes, chopped

50g walnuts, chopped

20g Parmesan, crumbled

Method

1
Line a 21cm x 11cm loaf tin with baking paper.
2
Heat a griddle or frying pan. Brush the asparagus with the oil and griddle for 1-2 mins. Trim 8 of the stems to fit across the loaf tin, then chop the rest. Set aside to cool.
3
Put the bread mix in a large bowl. Stir in the sundried tomato pesto and 300ml warm water to make a smooth dough. Add extra water if needed.
4
Knead the dough for 10 mins on a lightly floured surface.
5
Fold the chopped asparagus, sundried tomatoes and walnuts into the dough. Shape and put in the loaf tin. Push the whole asparagus and Parmesan into the top. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6
Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Bake the bread on the middle shelf for 1 hour 15 mins until risen.
