This nutricious loaf, made from oats, rye, whole wheat, white and brown rice flour is super easy to make and can be made in a single day (no overnight soak, which many methods call for when using flours like rye and whole wheat). It has a soft, dense crumb, crisp sturdy crust, and is so delicious you can just eat it on its own – no butter, etc. required!

•  60 g rye flour
•  60g brown rice flour (just grind brown rice in a blender)
•  45 g quick-cooking oats
•  338 ml lukewarm water
•  150 ml warm milk

Mix all the above and let soak for 1 hour.

•  330 g all-purpose flour
•  210 g whole wheat flour
• 2 Tablespoons vital wheat gluten
•  5 g instant yeast 
•  1 teaspoon salt
•  3 Tablespoons honey

1. Mix the dry ingredients together in the bowl of a stand mixer.
2. Add the wet mixture and the honey
3. Using the paddle, mix everything together until combined
4. Change to a dough hook and knead on low speed for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough comes away from the sides and forms a ball. Should feel like play-dough, a little tacky, but not sticky on you hands
5. Take dough and knead a few times on the counter to shape into a ball. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, could take 45 – 90 minutes, depending on the temperature of the room
