OATMEAL RYE BREAD



Oatmeal Rye Bread image

This is a dense and delicious loaf from the Vegetarian Epicure Book Two. Note: This calls for 2 cups whole wheat flour and 2 cups all purpose flour - I was out of whole wheat flour when I made this and used 4 cups of white instead and it was delicious, still plenty hearty from the oats and rye. Passive work time/cooking time includes rising time.

Time 3h20m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (1/4 ounce) packages yeast
3 cups warm water
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups dark rye flour
2 cups rolled oats
white flour (as needed)

Steps:

  • Stir the yeast into warm water in a large bowl, add molasses and stir till dissolved.
  • Add the white flour and the whole wheat flour, about 1 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition.
  • When all four cups of flour are stirred in, beat the mixture with a wooden spoon for about 10 minutes. It should be smooth and very soft.
  • Cover bowl with a towel and put in a warm place for 45 minutes.
  • The yeast sponge should rise considerably and be rather bubbly at the end of this time.
  • Now sprinkle salt over the sponge and fold together.
  • Add the rye flour and the oats, a little at a time and fold them together. The dough should be quite thick.
  • Add enough white flour to make the dough manageable and turn onto a floured board, and knead for about 20 minutes till smooth and elastic.
  • Cover and let rise till doubled.
  • Punch down and divide into two parts, forming each into a loaf. put into buttered medium loaf pans and let rise till doubled.
  • Bake at 350°F for 40-60 minutes (depends on your oven and how crusty you like your bread - my loaves were just right at about 40-45 minutes. I brushed the loaves with butter after baking to soften the crust).

Naturally Leavened Rye and Oat Bread image

Fresh-milled whole grain rye and oat flours take center stage in this delicious, naturally leavened pan loaf. With a smooth texture and earthy-fruity flavors, this bread is fantastic for simple toast or for smørrebrød: small open-faced sandwiches that are topped with smoked fish, cheese, vegetables, or in this photo: cream cheese, salmon roe, and tarragon.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

360g home-milled rye berries or whole grain rye flour (2 ¾ cups flour)
100g home-milled oat groats or oat flour (1 heaping cup flour)
200g ripe sourdough starter (2/3 cup)
300g water (1 ¼ cups)
90g plain yogurt (⅓ cup)
22g honey (1 Tbsp)
10g salt (1 ¾ tsp)

Steps:

  • Starter/Levain
  • I made 200g of almost all-rye sourdough starter by feeding 40g starter with 80g water and 80g whole grain rye flour, and I used it when it was a little more than doubled in size. Other ways of building up this large amount of ripe starter are fine too.
  • Mixing and Bulk Fermentation
  • Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. If possible, scrape the batter into a straight-walled dough bucket or separate out a tiny amount of dough to put in an aliquot jar to help track fermentation (explanation above, photo in the gallery below).
  • Cover and let the batter rise until it has expanded by about 75%. In my ~80°F lit oven, this was about five hours.
  • Shaping and Final Proof
  • Grease a non-stick loaf pan or line a regular loaf pan with parchment paper. I used a medium USA pan, which is 9 x 5 x 2.75 inches.
  • Scrape the batter out of your bowl or bucket directly into the loaf pan.
  • Repeatedly wet a spatula with water to smooth out the surface of the batter, dipping between the edges of the batter and the pan to create the curved edges of a loaf shape.
  • Sprinkle with rye flour if desired, cover, and let the batter rise about 2 centimeters. (See the gallery below for a sense of the expansion.)
  • Baking
  • Preheat your oven to 450°F for about 20 minutes with a pan on the bottom shelf. You'll pour boiling water into the hot pan when you load the bread into the oven. An alternate option for steam is to make a tight foil tent around the loaf pan and leave it on for the first 15-20 minutes of the bake.
  • Boil a cup of water.
  • Place the loaf pan in the oven and pour the boiled water on the hot pan below it, then quickly close the oven door.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 390°F, and bake another 25-30 minutes. Rotate the pan if needed for even browning. The internal temperature of the bread should be over 208°F when it's done.
  • If possible, wait 24 hours before cutting the bread to let the inside set. You might want to rotate the loaf onto one long side and then the other during this setting period, so it doesn't get dense at the base. If you can't wait for the loaf to set, toast each slice to solidify the crumb.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will ensure that your bread has the best flavor and texture.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately. This is important for ensuring that your bread rises properly and has the correct texture.
  • Knead the dough well. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour and make the bread more elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the yeast to grow and produce carbon dioxide, which will cause the bread to rise.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the bread cooks evenly.
