Oatmeal Porridge Sandwich Loaf for #BreadBakers
I’m excited to be back and participating in the #BreadBakers group once again this month! Summer craziness prevented me from putting together a bread for June, so I made sure to bake something for July way in advance. July’s event was hosted by Rocio of Kids & Chic, who chose oatmeal as our theme ingredient.
I’ve made a several different things in the past with oats (sesame oat bread, struan bread, and pumpkin oatmeal cookies to name a few) but it had been quite a while. The has a great oat porridge recipe that I wanted to try and adapt as a yeasted sandwich loaf rather than a sourdough boule.
This porridge is serious business and makes for a very heavy loaf of bread. This is the kind of bread you will want to cut thick slices of. It is hearty, moist, and no surprise has a great oat taste. If you’re feeling more adventurous give the recipe a try as a sourdough boule. I’d recommend using the Tartine Country Bread dough as a base, and remember to adjust the water amount to account for the porridge.
Once again the #BreadBakers group has amazed me with the incredible diversity of loaves and baked goods they have cooked up for this month. Thanks again to Rocio for hosting, scroll down past the recipe to see what everyone else made!
- ¾ C + 2 Tbsp water (200 g)
- 1 C rolled oats (100 g)
- All of the porridge, cooled
- 3¼ C bread flour (400 g)
- 1 C water (250 g)
- 1 tsp salt (5 g)
- 2 tsp instant yeast (5 g)
- To make the porridge combine the oats and water in a small pot and cook over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally. The oats will absorb most of the water and swell in size as they cook.
- Continue to cook for 15-20 minutes, until all of the water has been absorbed by the oats or cooked off. Stir to ensure the oats on the bottom do not burn.
- Once cooked, turn out onto a baking pan and spread out the porridge to help cool it quickly. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before you make the dough.
- When the porridge has cooled combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl. Using the dough hook mix/knead on medium speed for 5-7 minutes, until the dough has come together and holds shape. The dough will be wet but should clear the sides of the bowl. If kneading by hand it will take 8-10 minutes.
- Place the risen dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Butter and flour a loaf pan.
- Once risen turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat the dough out to a 9"x5" rectangle. Roll up from the short end to form a loaf, pinching the seams as you go.
- Place in the loaf pan and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until the dough crests the top of the loaf pan, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
- While the dough rises preheat oven to 425F.
- Once risen place the dough in the oven and bake for 10 minutes at 425F. After 10 minutes turn the heat down to 375F and bake for an additional 30 minutes, until the top of the loaf is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and loaf pan, and let cool for 2 hours before slicing.
