Je suis le pain de vie ~ Jésus

Ingredients (metric measurements in parentheses):

1 t. salt

1 T. brown sugar

Add 3 t. dry yeast (regular—not bread machine yeast)

1/2 c. (heaping) oats (or other rolled grains) (50 grams)

1/2  c. white flour (70 grams)

3 1/4 c. whole wheat flour (430 grams)*

1-2 T olive oil (10 grams)

1 ½ c. warm water      (350-360 grams or ml)

Knead for 15 minutes (minimum) (I let my bread machine do this part)

Let rise for about 45 min.

Form into 2 loaves and put in loaf pans and place in oven.

Set timer (if you’ve got one) so oven starts in 45 min. at 350^o (do not preheat)

Cook for 30 min.

Turn oven off and leave bread in for 5 more minutes

Take bread out of oven and out of the pans, and put loaves on rack to cool, covered (or wrapped) with a clean dishcloth.

Bon appétit!
