Morphology
The meaning 'bread made with nuts' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'nut' (a type of seed) with 'bread' (baked dough); it denotes a subtype of bread containing nuts. This simple noun–noun compounding pattern is common across languages and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Nut bread paints a simple picture: a loaf of bread with chopped nuts mixed inside. So, it means 'a sweet or savory bread made with chopped nuts'.
