Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh horseradish, divided
  • coarse sea salt for finishing

Method

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to 350° F. Oil an 8" loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, allspice and salt. In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, yogurt, oil, honey and lemon zest. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the grated horseradish.
  • Add the flour mixture and fold until about three quarters of the dry ingredients are moistened. Add the walnuts and apricots, and fold just until the pieces are distributed and the dry ingredients are just moist. The batter will be stiff.
  • Scoop the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the reserved horseradish evenly over the top, and then grind coarse sea salt over the horseradish. Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45-50 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and cool completely on a rack.
