I have been making this no knead brown bread a bit lately, after reading about it here on Our Wee Farm. It is very easy to make, with very little hands-on time, and makes the most beautiful toast. I sometimes top my loaves with a mixture of polenta, poppy and sesame seeds and linseeds, or scatter the same mixture inside the loaf tin after I have oiled it, so they bake into the crust.
easy homemade bread
3 c warm water
1/3 c brown sugar
1 tbsp yeast (I used dried instant)
1 c rolled oats
Combine the above ingredients in a big bowl and leave for 15 minutes for the yeast to start bubbling.
Using a sturdy wooden spoon, add -
1 egg
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp oil
Finally stir in -
4 c white flour
2 1/2 c wholemeal flour
Cover bowl with gladwrap and leave in a warm place to double in size. Knock dough down and place into 2 oiled loaf tins. Leave the loaves to rise again, then bake for 45 minutes - the first 10 minutes at 200C and then turn the oven down to 160c.
