Have all ingredients at room temperature.

Toast walnuts just briefly in a moderately hot oven, just until they begin to give off their aroma. Let cool, then rub off papery husks & break into pieces or chop coarsely.

All all ingredients Except raisins & nuts to the bread pan in the order given; if your bread machine specifies dry ingredients first, reverse the order. Set the machine on basic cycle, medium crust. At the beep, add the raisins & nuts. If larger pieces of raisins & nuts are desired in the final loaf, reserve about half of the total to add 2-3 minutes after the beep, but make sure to allow enough time in the kneading to cycle for the final batch of raisins & nuts to be worked into the dough.

Do Not use a programmable timer, as this bread contains perishable ingredients.
