No-Knead Oat Bread

Prep time:  10 hours

Cook time:  45 mins

Total time:  10 hours 45 mins

Serves: 6-8

Ingredients:

• 2½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• ½ cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup rolled oats, plus 1 tbs for topping
• 1 tsp salt (sea or kosher)
• ¼ tsp active dry yeast
• 1¾ cups luke warm water
• 3-quart stock pot with a metal or glass lid or dutch oven
• Additional flour for shaping

Directions:

1. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Add water and mix with a wooden spoon until the flour is fully mixed in. It will be a sticky mess.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 10-12 hours (or up to 3 days) on the counter top. (The longer it sits, the more it will turn into a sourdough.)
4. When you’re ready to make the dough, place pot in oven with lid. Preheat to 425°F and let heat for 30 minutes.
5. With floured hands, pull the dough out of the bowl and put on a floured surface.
6. Fold ends of dough over a few times and shape it into a ball.
7. Sprinkle a handful of flour into bowl, and return dough to bowl to rest until oven is ready (about 25-30 minutes).
8. Remove dough from the bowl and drop it into your heated pot. Sprinkle with rolled oats if you are feeling the urge.
9. Cover and put into oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
10. Uncover, bake another 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden.
11. Remove and let cool on wired rack.
12. Slice and serve.
