After a spectacular, near epic fail on my last couple batches of bread, (somewhere between cardboard and rotting vegetation), two nice loaves of bread emerged from the oven. I used an overnight levain, mixed the dry blended oats, wheat flour, sugar, honey, water, scant yeast and a bit of cinnamon into a batter-like dough, then added the remaining bread flour and kneaded in the salt last.
Here's the recipe, as much as I can recall:
Cinnamon oat wheat
Levain - pinch of yeast, 1 cup warm water, 1 cup bread flour.
Starter
- levain, (fermented 24 hours), 3 cups warm water, 1/4 cup honey, 1/2
Tablespoon yeast, 2 cups blended dry oats, 1 Tablespoon organic sugar,
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 cup organic wheat flour.
Whisk.
Add 4 cups general purpose flour.
Knead 3 teaspoons salt into dough.
(first rise)
Cut, braid, loaf.
Bake @ 350 for 36 minutes.
I make no claim to the veracity of this recipe, the quality or the value, though I ran it past my team of volunteer taste enthusiasts and got a thumbs up. Life is good.
