I’m on a baking spree this weekend, trying to work on my shaping skills. (I have a tendency to degas the dough too much when forming loaves.) I shaped 3 yesterday and will do 3 more today. That’s 9 lbs (4 kg) of dough. I’ve got bread coming out of my ears!

Oatmeal sourdough, experiment #3.

90% white flour
10% whole wheat flour
25% rolled oats
90% water
2% salt

After three tries, this is the first dough and crust I’m really happy with. Final verdict will have to wait until it cools and I can cut it open.
