Creating a great tasting, extra healthy natural crusty seeded bread with my Artisan Sprouted Wheat Bread made in a Dutch oven.
Begin by adding the yeast, 1/4 cup of room temperature water and the honey to a small bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, combine the other dry ingredients in a bowl save for the flax, oats and honey. Mix well. Next, add the olive oil and mix.
Now, add the bloomed yeast and add the water a 1/2 cup at a time. Mix in the water using a wooden spoon. Keep adding the water 1/2 cup at a time until you can't mix the dough with the spoon. At this point, use your hands to knead the bread. The more you work with it, it should become smooth. Let it rise overnight.
The next morning, turn the oven on to 450 degrees F. Once ready, add in the Dutch oven and heat for 45 - hour. Meanwhile, pour out the dough on to a floured surface. Add in the flax and oats and knead the dough. The bread will start a little sticky. Keep kneading until the dough becomes smooth.
Place the dough on top of a piece of parchment paper. Carefully take out the hot Dutch oven. Place the dough on the parchment paper into the Dutch oven. With the top on, add to the oven and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, take the lid off and cook for another 10 - 15 minutes.
Remove the bread from the oven and place on a baking rack. To check foe doneness, knock the bottom and it should be firm yet sound hollow.
Let rest for 5 - 10 minutes before cutting.
Serve and enjoy!
