100% Oat Bread with Sourdough instructions

1. Mix [Oat Sourdough] ingredients well in a bowl. Cover with wrap and let ripen for 12-16 hours at room temperature..

2. Mix the [Soaked Oats] ingredients in a separate bowl. Cover, put in the refrigerator and let soak for at least 4 hours up to 12 hours..

3. On baking day, in a large bowl, mix the finished oat sourdough, soaked oats, 300 g oat flakes and [A] 200 g warm water, and 2 g yeast. (Its too wet to knead, so I mixed with a rubber spatula). Mix for 5 minutes using a spatula or your bread mixer..

4. Add [B] 100 g warm water and continue mixing for about another 5 minutes. Lastly, fold in the optional flaxseed or raisins..

5. Grease your loaf pans and dust the sides with some rolled oats. If using two smaller loaf pans, divide the dough into the two pans. If using one large pan, put it all in that. Sprinkle a few oats over top if you like. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour..

6. Preheat oven to 250°C/480°F and prepare a steam pan at the bottom of the oven. Pour some boiling water into this pan when you put the bread in the oven..

7. Bake for 10 minutes at 250°C/480°F then remove the steam pan. Lower the temperature to 200°C/400°F and bake for another 25-35 minutes for smaller loaves OR 65-70 minutes for a big loaf (or until a wooden skewer or toothpick comes out clean)..

8. Remove from the baking pans immediately and let cool on a rack. Great served with butter and jam!.

I almost always add some rye flour to ensure enough activity in my starter.

I decided to mix the dough in a dough mixer, but kneading it by hand with a slap or stretch and fold technique should work just fine.

My Honey Oat Sourdough bread has a lot going for it.

If you like crusty, thick, chewy, slightly sweet bread made with whole grains, then this is your recipe.
