Bereiding (voorbeeld)

1. 1

   My notes: I made this without grinding up the oats first and it did fine. I was wondering about the lack of sugar and fat in this recipe, but the bread worked okay without them. The loaves have a nice crackly top crust (I brushed it with half and half) with lots of fish eyes and a beautiful dark brown exterior. The texture is good, lots of little even holes inside. The bread tastes pretty hearty, but not too dry, and I think I'll try it with a smear of country mustard and some roast beef.

2. 2

   For the first rise, I let it go 12 hours, and I let it go 3 hours for the second rise, baking it when the loaves rose to the top edges of the bread pans. The first time I tried to make this bread, I must have let it rise for too long on the second rise (more like 10 hours), because it rose over the edges of the bread pans, collapsed, and blopped onto my oven floor in big globs. (I let my bread rise in a cold oven.) There wasn't much ovenspring with this bread, but then with only 1/2 teaspoon yeast and the wheat germ and oats, I guess you couldn't expect much.
