    Oatmeal No Knead Bread Recipe - GF Video

    by Eric · This post may contain affiliate links, its one way we pay the bills. · 8 Comments

    I love the simplicity and versatility of the no knead bread recipe, this no knead bread variation being a great example of taking the basic recipe, adding a few tweaks, and baking an artisan bread that rivals those in the bakery.

    I don't often use steel cut oats for anything, but I saw this recipe and I thought, wow that's a great reason to buy some steel cut oats. After we made this recipe, I cooked the steel cut oats in the pressure cooker, making a nutty oatmeal that was a lot of fun.

    This recipe is based on one on the Breadtopia website, a great source for all sorts of bread baking info and tools. Go check them out, the site is run by a web food guy named Eric, so you know its good.

    But back to the no knead bread recipe. I've become a big convert to using a digital scale for measuring out the flour for recipes. I've learned that it makes a big difference and I talk about it in this video: Five No Knead Bread Tips
    Pay attention when you're toasting the steel cut oats on your stovetop. Use a nonstick pan or cast-iron pan. You want to heat this up, but stay right there while it's toasting. I burnt the first batch of these because I walked away, the oats go from toasted to burnt in very short order. So watch out for that; once again, learn for me.

    But once you get those toasted oats into the bread dough, it's a great thing. It adds a neat texture and flavor. It's subtle, it's not like super oatmeal bread ,but I think it's just enough. I also added whole wheat flour - I'm trying to eat more whole grains rather than refined flour. I think it works really well here. you can watch our other no knead bread videos here

    Let me know your thoughts, have you made the artisan bread recipes or the no knead bread?

    Oatmeal  No Knead Bread Recipe

    10 ozs  (2 ¼ cups) bread flour

    3 oz (¾ cups) whole wheat flour

    3 oz (½ cup) steel cut oats

    1 tablespoon coarse salt

    heaping ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast

    1 ⅝ cups water filtered preferably

     

    Toast the oats in a pan on the stove, you want them toasted, not burnt.

    Add the flour, salt, yeast, and oats in a large bowl and stir together

    Pour in the water, (warm water is best, I think) and mix.

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm area overnight. 12-18 hours.

    Flour a board or counter and shape the risen dough into a ball. Turn the ball into itself several times as shown in the video.

    Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper larger than your dutch oven.

    Place this in a bowl and cover with a towel, let rise for about an hour.

    Preheat the oven and dutch oven at 500F for 30 minutes.

    Dust the dough with flour if you like, and cut a design into the top, as shown in the video.

    Use the parchment paper to lift the dough out of the bowl, and place in the hot dutch oven.

    Cover and bake for 30 minutes at 450F. Take off the lid and bake an additional 15-2o minutes.

    You want the crust browned and the internal temperature to be about 190F.

    Remove from the dutch oven and cool on a wire rack. Do not cut it right away, let it cool.

      so i want to give this a whirl, but i have whole wheat bread flour - can i just use that or do i have to use white bread flour and then add regular whole wheat flour? and because i can never "just follow directions" i am going to use a half a cup of my multigrain mix instead of just steel cut oats 😉
      would love to know your advice on the flour. thanks

      going for it and think im okay (measured not weighed), but you speak of the dough being wet, but you dont really show it in the video after youre done mixing wet+dry. so, just for future reference when you make your next bread video 🙂
      thanks!

      alrighty, the results are in!
      using 100% whole wheat bread flour and a mix of multigrains instead of just steel cut oats - this recipe turned out FABULOUS! next time i will cut down the salt to 2 tsp instead of using a tablespoon since i thought it was just a wee bit salty. also i measured in 1/2tsp of yeast instead of a heaping 1/4.
      wonderful wonderful wonderful
      thanks!
      🙂

      I recently made the no knead oat bread in my dutch oven. I found the bread was alittle salty. I think 1 TBSP. is a bit much, next time I make it I will decrease the salt.

      The bread was pretty and brown.

      Thanks for the recipe.

      yes , I make them using a baking mat and bfreoe I used parchment paper, I dump the dough on either the paper or mat an then form my baguette (just the best you can without sweating it) and place it on a baking sheet (mat or paper and bread together over the sheet), last thing cut bfreoe baking at 450 until brown. I like it much better than the round thing because the inside bakes better ( not so wet). Give it a try!
