1 loaf
ingredients
- 473.18 ml whole wheat flour
- 236.59 ml bread flour or 236.59 ml unbleached all-purpose flour
- 118.29 ml rolled oats (divided)
- 4.92 ml baking powder
- 4.92 ml baking soda
- 2.46 ml salt
- 44.37 ml butter, melted
- 354.88 ml buttermilk
- melted butter, for top of hot loaf
directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, bread flour, and 1/4 cup of the rolled oats. Blend in the baking powder, soda, salt, and butter. Make a hole in the center of the mixture and add the buttermilk. Stir until stiff dough forms. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup oats on bread board. Turn dough out onto board and knead for just 1 minute, shaping it as you go into a perfect round loaf. There should be a rather thick coating of the extra oats on the outside of the loaf.
- Cover baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Place loaf seam side down on top of baking sheet. With sharp knife, make a cross slash in the top of the loaf about 1/2 inch deep. Preheat oven to 375°F Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Transfer to rack and brush generously with melted butter. For good slicing, cool for at least 4 hours. Makes 1 loaf.
