This bread recipe has got to have the longest name but the shortest life as I ate half a loaf the first day! Two new favorites came from this bread…my favorite way to eat Mashed Potatoes and without a doubt my favorite bread ever!!! There is absolutely no comparison in taste when using fresh flaked oats,that fresh flaking releases a nuttiness that can’t be found when buying stuff store bought stuff that was flaked months ago. Fresh flaked is only way to have porridge in the morning!

Takes about 22 – 36 hrs total time
Ingredients:
- 50 g hulled oats
- 20 g barley berries
- 30 g rye berries
- 38 g wheat bran
- 362 g hot water
- 160 g warm water
- 56 g sourdough starter (or use 1 1/2 tsp yeast)
- 175 g White flour
- 48 g Spelt flour
- 416 g warm water
- 22 g salt
- 25 g Olive Oil
- 226 g cream cheese (softened)
- 130 g mashed potatoes (with skins)
- 100 g Spelt flour
- 315 g White flour
- 200 g Whole wheat flour (fresh is best)
Preparation:
With the Flaker attachment for your Ankarsrum Flake the Oats and Barley. The rye you want to mill so it is like grits (chopped) or use a spice grinder to coarsely grind if don’t have a mill. Take ingredients #1 – 5 and put together in a bowl 4 – 6 hrs or overnight or if prefer cook this together like porridge and cool completely before adding to dough.
Make a Levain with ingredients #6 – 9. Mix this together in the plastic bowl till well blended. Let this sit aside on counter for at least 4 – 6 hrs or overnight.
Final Mix Place # 10 – 12 in your Stainless Bowl, add the #13 the cream cheese and blend, then the porridge you made ahead. Now add your Levain and #14 potatoes these can be room temperature or even heat a bit if were stored in fridge since making to ensure they will not stay clumpy. Lastly add the remaining flours #15 – 17 mix on low till well blended and then turn up dial to about 4 o’clock and knead for about 6-8 minutes. Remove dough from bowl and put in covered dish in fridge for 12 – 24 hrs. Remove from fridge allow to warm on counter for about 2 hrs. Place in pan or proofing basket. Allow to rise for about 1 1/2 hrs, will only rise about 1/3 of final size.
Preheat oven to 550 degrees, if baking a free form loaf put your baking pan or stone in the oven to heat as well. Also put in a shallow pan on bottom of oven for steaming. Once oven is hot place loaf in oven or with free formed loaf, flip with a transfer board or I just use an inverted cookie sheet with parchment paper and quickly flipped it, allow the dough a few moments to release and carefully remove proofing pan, score bread if like. Slide complete with the parchemnt onto your baking stone, add 1 cup of water to your steam pan and shut oven as quickly as you can. Turn oven down to 450 after 5 minute. Bake 30 minutes and rotate loaf and slide out the parchment to ensure even baking. Bake another 15 minutes or till internal temperature reaches 205 degrees or seems done. I have really found over the last year or so when making more specialty breads the use of a thermometer is essential to getting the correct doneness. As tempting as it is to cut into that loaf shortly after removing from oven allow at least 2 hrs before cutting. Then enjoy.
Please note, these are baking methods that work for me, I am not a baker/bread maker by any means. I am mainly showing you the wonderful ways to enjoy your Ankarsrum and the recipes are just for example of the ways to use the mixer.
