Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl dissolve the yeast in the warm water. 
  2. Add the steel-cut oats and the flax meal and mix well (I use a fork to mix). Add flour and salt to the mix and incorporate well. Mix with a wooden spoon or dough hook for about 2-3 minutes. 
  3. The dough will be sticky and slightly wet. If it seems dry, you may need to add a little more water. 
  4. Cover the bowl with saran wrap and let it rise on the kitchen counter for at least 8-12 hours. The dough will double in size. You can leave it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If you do the long refrigerator rise, set it on the counter and let it come to room temperature for 2 hours before proceeding to step 5. 
  5. After the first rise, transfer the sticky dough to a floured surface and shape it into one large boule or two baguette-shaped logs. Transfer onto floured parchment paper. Sprinkle with additional flour on top. Cover with a kitchen towel. If using mix-ins, see *notes. Also, see the **notes if you bake the bread in a single loaf pan without a lid. 
  6. Let rise again for 50-60 min (on the parchment paper covered with a towel).   
  7. With a sharp knife, score the dough with two longitudinal cuts for each baguette OR two scores on top of the large round boule. 
  8. Preheat oven to 450 F. Meanwhile, place a 6-quart Dutch oven (or heavy cooking pot with oven-safe lid) in the oven as it preheats. 
  9. When the oven is preheated to 450 F, take out the Dutch oven and place the baguettes or the large boule inside (with parchment paper). Place back in the oven to bake for 33 minutes with the lid ON. After 33 minutes, check if the top of the bread is golden brown. If you like darker brown, remove the lid and cook for 6-10 minutes.
  10. Put the bread on a cooling rack and let it cool completely. Or, take a slice while still warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • * Mix-Ins: If using mix ins 1) divide the dough in half  2) roll each dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Sprinkle desired toppings evenly on the dough 3) fold the dough over on itself about four times (as pictured) 4) this will create two baguettes 4) Continue to Step 7 in instructions. 
  • **If you are baking your bread in a traditional single-loaf bread pan, Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place your dough directly into your greased bread pan (or bread pan lined with parchment paper) for the last rise. Once the dough is double in size (about 1 hour), bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden brown. 
  • , Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place your dough directly into your greased bread pan (or bread pan lined with parchment paper) for the last rise
