• 25 ml apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours 40 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 4 hours

For the cooking dough, mix the flour and water in a small saucepan until no lumps remain. Heat everything, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a pudding-like consistency and let cool. For the soaking dough, put the oats in a small bowl and pour over lukewarm water. Mix everything briefly and let it soak, covered, for about 1 hour. For the main dough, dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water. Then put all the other ingredients, including the cooled cooking dough and the soaking dough, into a mixing bowl. It is best to knead the dough with a food processor for 14 minutes on a low speed and 2 minutes on a fast speed. The dough should be medium to firm. After kneading, cover and let rest for 30 minutes. After the resting time, knead the dough briefly again with your hands and form it into a ball. Then place the ball in a proving basket or a bowl lined with a cloth and let rise, covered, for about 1 hour 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 240°C (top/bottom heat), and heat an empty baking tray on the lowest rack. Turn the bread out onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and place it in the lower third of the oven. Carefully pour 1 cup of water onto the heated baking tray. The steam will prevent the bread from tearing and allow a nice crust to form. Reduce the oven temperature to 200°C (top/bottom heat). After 4 minutes of baking, open the oven door slightly for 1 minute to allow some steam to escape. Then bake the bread for another 30 minutes until golden brown. The oats and potatoes will keep the bread from being as dry and will keep it fresh longer. Enjoy baking!
