Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup steel-cut oats
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 package quick-rise yeast
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 3/4 cup water

Instruction

  • Whisk together the flour, oats, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Add water and honey, stirring with a wooden spoon or Danish Dough Hook until the ingredients are combined. The dough will be very sticky. Cover with plastic wrap; let the dough rise in a warm place until covered with bubbles; about 4 hours.
  • Using a fork, burn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, punch down the dough and fold over onto itself twice. The dough will still be very sticky. Shape the dough into a rectangle if making in a loaf pan. If you're making a round country loaf, shape into a domed circle. Place the dough into a 5 x 9-inch loaf pan or a parchment-lined Dutch Oven. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove plastic wrap; bake until browned, about 40 minutes. Remove bread from the pan and let cool completely before slicing.
