Equipment

  • Cast iron pot

Ingredients

  • 350 g All-purpose flour or bread flour
  • 60 g Whole wheat flour
  • 60 g Spelt flour
  • 30 g Oatmeal
  • 4 tbsp Grains linseeds, sesame seeds, sunflower grains, poppy seeds... Use whatever you have
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Dry yeast
  • 400 ml water
  • 2 tbsp Grains to sprinkle over the dough

Instructions

  • Mix all the dry ingredients together.
  • Add the water and let the machine work on low speed for 5-10 minutes.
  • The dough should hold together but be very sticky. Adjust with water or flour if needed.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic and leave it in room temperature for 10-14 hours.
  • Put your cast iron pot with its lid in the oven and set it to 230°c. Let it heat for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the oven and remove the lid. Use a spatula to slide the dough into the pot and sprinkle with grains.
  • Put back the lid and place it in the oven. Bake for 35 min.
  • Remove the lid and bake for a further 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the oven and place the bread to cool down on a grid.

Notes

The bread should not stick to the pot. If it does your pot probably needs greasing. Try smearing it with oil (olive or vegetable) and leave it for a few hours before to remove the superflu with a kitchen paper.
