I too soak all my bread dough. My recipe is very similar to yours except I hadn't thought about oats. My recipe is 1 cup whole grain spelt, 1 cup rye, and 4 cups white wheat ground up in wheat grinder. I take 3 cups warm water, 1\3 cup whey, and about 9-10 cups flour. Soak overnight, then add 2 T yeast and 1/4 tsp in 1/4 cup warm water, 1/3 cup honey, 1/3 cup fat, 1 T salt. Enough flour to prevent sticking added if needed. Knead. Shape into 3 loaves, rise. Bake about 35 minutes or until 180 degrees. I have notice the dough is heavier by soaking first. I actually broke my Bosch so I had to cut down on doing 3 loaves. I've been making this recipe for about 2 years and my husband can finally eat bread again. I am going to try your recipe because it looks yummy.

I think this is one of the best breads I have ever had and this is coming from someone who has worked in two bread bakeries. Although, this is my third attempt at soaked breads. I used coconut oil instead of butter and used half honey and half molasses and also used half rolled oats and half steel cut (gives it a nice nutty/chewy bite). This will be my new go to bread recipe. Thank you so much.

We usually do open face sandwiches since it's not quite as sturdy as store-bought bread. We slather on hummus or tuna salad, top with cheese and then melt in the broiler.

I will try that next time.<br /><br />I am totally old-school and don't actually have a mixer. I do have some sore triceps though. :)<br /><br />Also, I wanted to tell you that I stuck my thermometer in the middle (great tip- I had never done that before) and it read over 190.

I think that the ...Jerri Ann, so glad you tried it. I think that the sticky middle is due to it not rising enough, which means it takes longer to cook through and turns out underdone. I'd recommend trying to knead it a little more to make sure the gluten is really developed, or do it in a mixer. And also don't be afraid to let it rise a little longer. I'm glad you're enjoying it nonetheless! It really is amazing warm with butter. :)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033504819329008041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7752502386147189456.post-35035865494982132422012-08-14T20:11:28.833-04:002012-08-14T20:11:28.833-04:00Joanna,

The process didn't bother me and was actually easier being drawn out to two days.<br />However, like my breads in the past this one came out a little "wet" or "sticky" in the middle. Does that make sense? I do all of my kneading by hand, could that be where I'm going wrong? <br />The flavor was great, I'm hoping to get this recipe down instead of adding it in the bin of failed breads because I love the flavor. <br />Do you use this bread as an everyday bread? My plans are to use this for sandwiches and toast.<br />Thanks in advance. <br />oh and PS- I cut the end off right out of the oven and slathered it in butter.uh, YUM! Then I had another....woops.

I have not tried switching out the red wheat for white wheat because I like this loaf just the way it is. :) Also, I thought white whole wheat wasn't the best for yeast bread by itself? But perhaps you can give me a lesson. :)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033504819329008041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7752502386147189456.post-914974496239626942012-01-12T14:06:50.270-05:002012-01-12T14:06:50.270-05:00I have made my family's bread, for gosh, like ...I have made my family's bread, for gosh, like 14 years I think? I am a big believer in homemade over whole grains. A little white flour lightens a loaf and is still leaps and bounds better than store bought! But, just to be the Devil's advocate, have you considered switching out the red wheat for all white wheat? It will be very light and if not to your family's liking you can add in like a cup of soft white to keep it from being to dense. But, still, this looks great and reminds me that we have not had oat bread in a while and it might just be time!Melissa Naaskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930313817092938958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7752502386147189456.post-43249971835246229242012-01-11T18:42:46.416-05:002012-01-11T18:42:46.416-05:00This sounds SO delicious!
