- Sprinkle baking sheets (I prefer to use baking stones) with oats to prevent sticking and bake loaves at 350 for 30-35 minutes.

Perfect brown bread! Tastes just like the real deal. I made mine with kitchen-made buttermilk, and I used all but 1 cup white whole wheat flour (King Arthur makes one). The dough is really shaggy and sticks to everything before you add that final 1/4 cup of flour - and even then it's still pretty wet. The only other thing I did different was cook it for an extra 5-10 minutes until the internal temperature reached 195 or so. After 32 minutes the temperature was only at around 135. Beautiful bread - thanks BothFex!
