Soaker

  • 100 Grams Old Fashioned Oats (1 Cup)
  • 105 Grams Warm Water (1/2 Cup)

Dough

  • 230 Grams Milk (1 Cup)
  • 150 Grams Sourdough Starter (3/4 Cup)
  • 80 Grams Maple Syrup (1/4 Cup)
  • 14 Grams Olive Oil (1 Tablespoon)

  • 100 Grams Whole Wheat Bread Flour (1/2 Cup + 1 Tablespoon)
  • 10 Grams Fine Sea Salt (1 1/2 Teaspoons)

Instructions
 

  •  Feed your starter and make sure it’s nice and bubbly before baking.
  • Combine the oats with the water and set aside.
  • Mix the milk, sourdough starter, maple syrup, and olive oil. Add in flours and salt until well incorporated. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Work the oat soaker into the dough. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. 
  • Stretch and fold the dough three times with 30 minutes rest between each folding session.
  • Cover and let the dough rise at room temperature overnight for about 10 to 12 hours. 
  • Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface and pre-shape the dough into a boule. Cover and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes. 
  • Shape the boule into a sandwich loaf and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. 
  • Transfer the sandwich loaf to a lightly greased bread pan. Cover and let rise until dough has reached above the lip of the pan. 
  • Preheat the oven to 450° Fahrenheit (232° Celsius). 
  • Spritz the dough with water and sprinkle additional oats over the top. Place the loaf in the oven and reduce the temperature to 400° Fahrenheit (204° Celsius). 
  • Bake for 25 minutes and then tent the loaf with aluminum foil. Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Let bread cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn bread out onto wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
