I baked this bread the other day and it was just wonderful - the taste, smell, texture of the crust and crumb - everything perfect. You've outdone yourself with this one, Sune!
You savage! That was mesmerizing to watch! I did learn something today, and I hope you never stop baking because I want to continue learning. Thank you, Sune!
I've been baking bread with rolled oats for a long time now - absolutely no need to make porridge first - just add the rolled oats to the flour mixture, mix in dry, and they will soak into the dough just fine with just cold water. Much easier and reduces any chance of having weird porridge chunks in the dough.
I’d love to know if you increase the hydration when you add dry oats. I’ve made several loaves with the wet porridge and I find the crumb a bit dense and gummy. Not a fan.
I just stick with about 70 percent hydration plus a fairly big hit of my runny starter, which probably takes the effective hydration level up. But the point really I was trying to make is that adding some oats into the dough can be just easy, by feel, and needn't be a science or require an extra step. The oats effectively become porridge naturally during the ferment.
The point of cooking the oats is that the starches gelatenize so that more water is in the starches than you can usually get. It's like a tangzhong. If you bake one with oats just added and one with porridge there will be a difference in texture and shelf life 😊
I just love watching you mix, shape and bake beautiful bread. Your lessons and experiments have been very helpful. My sourdough starter is very strong and my bread has improved dramatically in both taste and crumb. Thank you for being such a great teacher. I have my oatmeal batards sitting in the refrigerator retarding and will bake one tomorrow morning in my newly arrived Challenger Bread Pan and the other in my steam oven. I'm looking forward to seeing which one will be the winner.
I just baked two loaves using this recipe. It looks amazing and the oven spring better than I had expected. Now it is cooling off on the racks and cannot wait to cut into it to try a slice. I wish I can upload a photo of the final result. Many thanks for sharing this Sune. Another of my family favourite is your Danish Rugbrød. Great recipes! Cheers.
Thanks for the recipe, I deviated from it by adding a teaspoon of honey and 0.5g cinnamon to the oats and water mix and adding the oatmeal around 45mins after adding the sourdough. Never having eaten oatmeal like this before I had to restrain myself from eating it while adding it. I did slap and folds to help distribute the oatmeal evenly. The result was good!
I think it be easier to break up the cooked oatmeal if one put it in the water alone, before the flour is added. The same goes for the starter: dissolve it in the water first for more thorough distribution amongst the flour.
Very interesting! I came to this video after seeing another oats and sourdough recipe...although that one was completely different and so this was a pleasant surprise! you probably already know but just in case: Fermented oats. They supposedly make tasty porridge but they can also raise a loaf!
I love this recipe and have made it a few times and it always comes out great! I have a question: after you mix the dough, why is it necessary to let it sit for an hour before putting it in your bulk fermentation container? In other recipes you would be doing stretch and folds, but since this one doesn't require it, could you just go straight to bulk fermentation?
Hi, Sune. This looks like another great recipe. I look forward to giving it a try. This brings up a question that's been nagging me for a while. You mention here letting the dough proof until it grows 50% in volume. Many recipes call for letting the dough grow 25%, some even 100%. What is the underlying logic for how much to let the dough grow? There must be a technical reason for the amount of dough growth for a specific recipe, but so far I've missed that. On a similar theme, some recipes call for resting 30 minutes before the first stretch and fold, while others recommend 60 minutes. Again, what are we looking for here? I look forward to your insight in these areas. Thanks!, Ravi-Har
Have you ever considered grinding rolled oats and using it as part of your bread flours? I have used ground rolled oats to feed my starter and the bread baked from that came out great. Thanks for your wonderful videos, I have learned a lot from them.
Raw oat flour would have a totally different texture than cooked porridge. And might not cook as fast. 🤷🏼♂️I don’t like oatmeal porridge, so I’m not sure.
@@timtyndall4025 I think you get my meaning wrong. I don't mean for the rolled oats to be cooked. I meant grind the oats fine like flour and substitute for some of the bread flour. Example: substitute 50 grams of oat flour for 50 grams of bread flour in a 500 gram bread flour recipe. So that you would use 450 grams of bread flour and 50 grams of oat flour. 🙂
Great video! Have you tried fermenting your rolled oats and use it to make your sourdough starter? I am just getting into this and tried it with GF sourdough bread. It was good, but still needed to work on a better crumb. Little moist on the inside (it cooled overnight). I saw a tip on turning the oven off and let sit for another 10 minutes. May give that a try. I wonder if I can proof GF dough in the fridge like that. Thanks!
Nice video! From my experience, adding a much wetter porridge (like how you would eat it) into the dough an hour into bulk fermentation, yields a much more open and soft crumb. The dough can sometimes be a little difficult to handle, but the result is totally worth it. The bread also stays fresh twice as long as a normal sourdough bread.
As always I trust your recipes and this one was no different. So easy - did I say easy? It turned out perfect! Thank you❤️ P..S. I crumbled the cooked oatmeal while it was still warm and it incorporated beautifully.
I appreciate your "Oooops!" moment. 🥴😁 I bet this loaf makes fabulous toast!! 😋 When I make my oatmeal porridge, it has more water and creamy... So I see how your recipe is more like the tangzhong! Thanks so much for the recipe, Sune. Blessings 🙏❤
Hej Sune - lækkert brød! To speed up the cooling of the oatmeal, just spread it in a thin layer on a metal oven sheet/pan. It will then cool in less than a minute.
Hi Sune. I’m planning on making this. Love your recipes. I have a couple of questions. I realized I used AP instead of bread flour by mistake. I’m hoping that it won’t drastically change the dough? The other thing I was wondering, could these be baked in a Pullman Pan and if so, do you recommend leaving the lid on for the entire bake, and what temperature should it be baked at and for how long if I use the Pullman Pan? Or could these be baked in a loaf pan, no lid with an egg wash? Or would I need steam? Sorry for all the questions! Or for anybody who could help me?
I'm not Sune of course, but I can give my answers to some of your questions. :-) AP flour usually works fine as long as the gluten isn't too weak. You will maybe need a bit less water as bread flour often absorbs more water. Sune has a video where he bakes sandwich loaves in a pullman. I'm sure you can use the same aproach with this dough. I have never used an eggwash, but i have never had a problem baking in an open breadpan. For best results, use a source of steam, like a pan of water underneath the bread, but you can make a fine loaf without it. You will perhaps get a bit less oven spring, and the dough is usually a bit less shiny, but who cares as long as it tastes good?
@@MrJokun1 Thanks for your response. I have made his sandwich loaf several times and it’s delicious. That one, however, has butter and milk in it. I’m going to take your suggestion and read that recipe again. I’m pretty sure if bake it in an open loaf pan I’ll need the steam.
You may have to raise the hydration then. I guess there's a limit to how much water can get absorbed :) The clumping really isn't a big issue when it's baked to be honest :)
Salut ! Je suis un boulanger français et mon anglais n'étant vraiment pas terrible, je vais écrire... en français, oui. J'aime bien votre idée de mettre du porridge dans la pâte, ça peut apporter un véritable côté nutritif et aromatique. Et le cuire dans une cocotte (ou dans un plat couvert) est aussi un bon moyen d'assurer une texture moelleuse à l'intérieur. J'essaierais sûrement d'en faire de même.
I’ve been adding oatmeal using quick-cooking steel-cut oats to my bread dough for some time. The tangzhong explanation makes good sense. It’s very moist and nutritious.
Sune says in the video that he's using rolled oats in the dough, but those look like cut oats to me, and I think cut oats would work better in the dough too. Rolled oats for the outside of the loaf will look better and probably give a better final texture.

My oven goes to 300C. Great if you like burned bread 🤣😂 What is the best temperature to bake your sourdough bread at? | Foodgeek ruclips.net/video/IxH2lO71u-o/видео.html
@@Foodgeek Thanks for the video. I guess that means that it doesn't really matter for the oven spring if I preheat the oven to 260 or 280 (before turning it down to 230 when I put the dough in), as long as the finished bread doesn't burn? You don't turn down the temp in the linked video, so I don't really know if this changes everything...
@@Foodgeek 😮 oh! Don’t stretch & folds help with developing of gluten structure and strength of dough? Learn so many things from others… I don’t know what I don’t know 🤷♀️
@@Foodgeek I use coil folds instead of stretch and folds when making multigrain sourdough bread as its gentler but will build up the gluten just as well. If you knead agressively with whole grains or seeds, etc. it can tear the gluten strands. One note, spelt is lower in gluten than other grains like kamut or einkhorn or whole wheat. For convenience, I add the oats in dry, either old fashioned or quick cooking doesn't seem to make a difference.
It looks great! But would like to hear more about the taste of bread in general. We have a lot to say about the taste of what food we cook or about the wine we drink and I miss that in the baking bread videos. Its all about the looks and not about the taste…last but not least, why don’t you mix the cooked oatmeal with a part of the water to avoid lumps?
wouldnt it be easier to break up the oatmeal if you mix it with the water first? never done it myself, but i guess thats what id do on a first attempt. ever tried that and had bad results?
A question: when preheating the oven and Dutch oven/Challenger, why do you heat with the lid on the Dutch oven/Challenger? Wouldn't the ironware heat faster and more evenly with the lid and base separate? (That's what I do).
@@sharonrossy8917 That's fine at the baking stage, but the lid and base will preheat better not closed, no? I'm not questioning preheating the Dutch oven, I'm questioning why they're so often preheated as a closed unit.
Are you satisfied with the heat resistent gloves? In my experience, this kind of gloves works well when you put your hand above the grill but not when you need to carry an heavy dutch oven from the oven.
@@Foodgeek Well alrighty then. I've been meaning to try spelt anyway. Looking forward to this. Thanks! BTW, you've become my sourdough guru and I've been telling anyone who will listen of the wonders of Sune as the Foodgeek
Hi Bread Bro, I have been baking a sourdough/live yeast hybrid for a few weeks now. 100g starter 15-20g live yeast 5g sugar in 265g 40C water 450g 550 flour(Germany) 15-17g salt Mix and let rise a few times over 24 hours. Start oven and let kneaded dough rise while oven and dutch oven heat to 230C with Fan. Set dough on lightly floured parchment and score (I use small scissors for a 1cm cut). Pour in 50 ml of water into dutch oven, place scored dough on parchment into dutch oven on top of the water and cover. Bake 20 minutes covered. Bake 15 minutes uncovered. Nice oven spring, soft chewy texture.
Is there any problem in breaking the oatmeal chunks with a bit of the water I'm supposed to use? I mean... does this "cancel" the Tangzhong in any way?
I've often wondered the same thing. It's probably a French cultural usage of the term that's different from the actual textbook definition. Like, maybe it meant that it was a hybrid shape, between a boule and a baguette. Or maybe it was actually from an accidental mis-shaping of a loaf that was originally intended to be one of those two. I'd like to learn the actual history of it one day, because with the name "bastard" it's sure to be an interesting story. The back story relayed to me regarding Anadama was surely a good one!
I baked this bread the other day and it was just wonderful - the taste, smell, texture of the crust and crumb - everything perfect. You've outdone yourself with this one, Sune!
I make "porridge bread rolls" every weekend from leftover porridge. It is impossible to ruin them. Always delicious

About 10 to 15 percent oats per total dry ingredients. 10 if I'm feeling conservative. 15 if I'm in the mood to party.
The point of cooking the oats is that the starches gelatenize so that more water is in the starches than you can usually get. It's like a tangzhong.

I have been baking a sourdough/live yeast hybrid for a few weeks now.

Is there any problem in breaking the oatmeal chunks with a bit of the water I'm supposed to use?
I mean... does this "cancel" the Tangzhong in any way?
Not at all 😊

Dark Side of the Oat
Can’t you just grind the oats in blender
Maybe it was the big hunk of hash I smoked, but did anyone else see the face on the counter at 9:50???
Why would a loaf of bread be called a bastard?
I've often wondered the same thing. It's probably a French cultural usage of the term that's different from the actual textbook definition. Like, maybe it meant that it was a hybrid shape, between a boule and a baguette. Or maybe it was actually from an accidental mis-shaping of a loaf that was originally intended to be one of those two. I'd like to learn the actual history of it one day, because with the name "bastard" it's sure to be an interesting story. The back story relayed to me regarding Anadama was surely a good one!
That's a very good and educated guess 😊
💯 Promo_SM!
Yeah - no more making bastards for me.
