I made some no knead bread a few weeks ago.
I ran out of my nice unbleached high gluten wheat flour , and didn't want to use crappy all purpose to make up for the rest.
Instead, I used dry oats to make up the rest of it, and crossed my fingers.
It
rose fine, but was , surprisingly, too wet!
I relented and used the all purpose flour , working it into the wet slack dough until it became shapeable.
I put the dough balls into the pans and crossed my fingers...
I got good
oven spring and a very fine crumb.
It wasn't airy but it was also not by any means a brick .
It was good, worth doing again but the process of getting to it was way too haphazard.
I remembered reading a members post that referred to regularly making bread from soaked whole grains, blended , but I can't find the information.
Jan White has a post in this
thread Blending-wet-soaked-wheat-berries
that is very useful.
I'm gonna try this:
(375 grams) quick oats
(25 grams )wheat gluten
(8 grams) table salt
(1gram) instant or other active dry yeast
(300 grams)
water
I will mix and cover, and leave it rise.
No blending, it didn't seem to need it last time.
After the rise, I will track how much water or wheat gluten I add to achieve a shapeable dough.
Then we will see what happens in the oven.
I'm hoping for a loaf that is basically oats with a little seitan.
