This Honey Oat Sourdough Bread is a delicious artisanal loaf with a blend of bread flour, oats, and honey, resulting in a crusty exterior and a soft, flavorful interior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 625 grams bread flour (about 4 cups)
  • 100 grams active sourdough starter (about 1 cup)
  • 10 grams salt (about 1 3/4 teaspoon)
  • 450 grams water (about 1 1/2 cup)
  • 30 grams honey
  • 50 grams rolled oats (extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Combine sourdough starter, water, and flour in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture is too sticky to manage with a spoon.
  2. Let the mixture sit for one hour (autolyse stage).
  3. Add salt, honey, and oats to the mixture and let it sit for another 30 minutes.
  4. Perform the first stretch and fold or coil fold of the dough. Repeat this every 30 minutes for a total of 3-4 times.
  5. Once the dough has doubled in size, shape it into a ball and create surface tension.
  6. Transfer the shaped dough into a floured bowl or a bread banneton, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
  7. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a parchment paper.
  8. Gently flip the dough onto the parchment paper, spray it with water, and sprinkle oats on top.
  9. Make slits or designs on the dough to allow it to rise properly during baking.
  10. Place the dough with the parchment paper into a hot Dutch oven, cover with the lid, and bake for 35 minutes.
  11. Check the bread around 30 minutes. If needed, bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Plan for the bread-making process to include at least 12 hours in the fridge and 3 hours on the countertop.
  • Using a bread banneton helps maintain dough shape and texture.
  • Keep dough covered while it rests to prevent drying.
  • Use ice cubes to enhance the crust texture during baking if desired.
