No-Knead Oatmeal-Millet Peasant Bread image

Your guests will not believe you made this bread yourself! The crust is bakery-perfect and the crumb is moist and chewy. Rather than baking it in a loaf pan or on a pizza stone, this recipe uses a Dutch oven or other oven-proof baking dish with a tight-fitting lid!

Time 4h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup boiling water
½ cup rolled oats
¼ cup millet
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
1 ½ teaspoons salt
⅔ cup warm water (98 to 115 degrees F/37 to 46 degrees C)
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornmeal, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Combine boiling water, oats, and millet in a large bowl. Let cool to 100 degrees F (38 degrees C), about 10 minutes.
  • Dissolve yeast and salt in warm water in a small bowl. Let stand until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Stir into the oat-millet mixture. Add 2 3/4 cups flour; stir until dough forms a loose ball. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm, draft-free location until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  • Dust a cutting board with 1 tablespoon flour. Turn the dough out onto the board. Tuck in the edges gradually to shape dough into a boule (rustic, French-style ball) without kneading. Cover with a clean dish towel; let rise until nearly doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Place a lidded Dutch oven inside.
  • Make 3 slashes on top of the dough boule using a serrated knife.
  • Remove hot Dutch oven from the oven carefully. Uncover; sprinkle cornmeal over the bottom and place boule inside; cover with the lid. Reduce oven heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 28 minutes. Remove the lid and reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Continue baking until top is golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes more. Carefully lift loaf out of pan onto a work surface and gently tap bottom of loaf; if it sounds hollow, bread is done. Let cool for at least 1 hour on a wire rack.

I'm not a big fan of the texture of this bread. It's a bit too dense for my taste.

This bread is a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some herbs or spices next time.

This bread is a bit too dense for my taste, but it's still good. I think I'll try adding some more water to the dough next time.
