No-Knead Oatmeal-Millet Peasant Bread image

Your guests will not believe you made this bread yourself! The crust is bakery-perfect and the crumb is moist and chewy. Rather than baking it in a loaf pan or on a pizza stone, this recipe uses a Dutch oven or other oven-proof baking dish with a tight-fitting lid!

Time 4h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup boiling water
½ cup rolled oats
¼ cup millet
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
1 ½ teaspoons salt
⅔ cup warm water (98 to 115 degrees F/37 to 46 degrees C)
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornmeal, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Combine boiling water, oats, and millet in a large bowl. Let cool to 100 degrees F (38 degrees C), about 10 minutes.
  • Dissolve yeast and salt in warm water in a small bowl. Let stand until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Stir into the oat-millet mixture. Add 2 3/4 cups flour; stir until dough forms a loose ball. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm, draft-free location until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  • Dust a cutting board with 1 tablespoon flour. Turn the dough out onto the board. Tuck in the edges gradually to shape dough into a boule (rustic, French-style ball) without kneading. Cover with a clean dish towel; let rise until nearly doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Place a lidded Dutch oven inside.
  • Make 3 slashes on top of the dough boule using a serrated knife.
  • Remove hot Dutch oven from the oven carefully. Uncover; sprinkle cornmeal over the bottom and place boule inside; cover with the lid. Reduce oven heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 28 minutes. Remove the lid and reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Continue baking until top is golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes more. Carefully lift loaf out of pan onto a work surface and gently tap bottom of loaf; if it sounds hollow, bread is done. Let cool for at least 1 hour on a wire rack.

I'm not a big fan of millet, but I love this bread! The millet adds a slightly nutty flavor and a chewy texture that I really enjoy.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. I usually add a cup of cooked oatmeal to the dough, along with some nuts and seeds.

I love the simplicity of this recipe. It's so easy to make and the bread always turns out great. I usually add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to the dough for a sweeter bread.

This bread was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might have added too much water. However, the flavor was great! I'll definitely try it again with less water.

This bread is a game-changer! Never thought oatmeal and millet could make such a delicious and wholesome loaf. The texture is amazing, with a slightly chewy crust and a soft, fluffy interior. Will definitely be making this again and again.
