Ingredients

1 cup sourdough starter
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rye flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
2 tbsp flaxseeds
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp honey
Cornmeal for dusting

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm water, and honey.
2. Mix in the bread flour, whole wheat flour, rye flour, rolled oats, flaxseeds, and salt until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for 4-5 hours or until doubled in size.
5. Pre-shape the dough into a round or oval loaf and let it rest for 30 minutes.
6. Shape the dough into its final shape and place it on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
7. Cover and let the dough proof for another 1-2 hours.
8. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a Dutch oven inside to heat up.
9. Once preheated, carefully place the loaf into the Dutch oven, cover, and bake for 20 minutes.
10. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
11. Cool the bread on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Storage

Store in a paper bag at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer freshness.
