  • Number of Servings: 26
Ingredients
1.5 c whole wheat flour1.5 c white flour1/2 packet of dry yeast1 3/4 c water, warm1 tsp salt1/4 c oat bran
Directions
Combine water and yeast in a bowl, allow to proof 10 minutes. Combine both types of flour and salt in a large bowl. Pour the water and yeast into the flour and stir to combine. It will be shaggy. Cover tightly with saran wrap and allow to rise 5-12 hours.

Flour a work surface and pout out the dough. Flour the top of the dough and fold over three or four times. Let rest 15 minutes. Spread the oat bran on a clean kitchen towel. Form the dough into a ball and place on the oat bran. Let rise 2 hours.

90 minutes into the second rise, heat the over to 450 degrees and put in a dutch oven or other heavy pot with a tightly fitting lid. Allow to preheat for at least 30 minutes.

Remove the hot pan and carefully flop the bread in. It will look like a mess, but it will all work out fine in the over. Cover and cook for 30 minutes; then uncover and cook 20 minutes more. Cool on a wire rack.

Makes a 26 oz loaf and serving size is calculated per ounce -- an average slice is about 2 oz.

    I LOVE this bread. The crust is crisp and it's wonderfully soft and chewy inside. To be fair, though, it's not a 26-serving loaf. It's more like a 12-serving loaf. Still, not bad for calories, and definitely worth it! :) - 5/29/11

    I have made this, but the recipe I used didn't have the oat bran in it. I added fresh rosemary to it. It is one of my favorite breads. Tastes and looks alot like artisans bread - 1/20/09
