No-Knead Oatmeal-Millet Peasant Bread

Men wore tunics and long stockings or leggings to keep them warm as they worked the fields, while women wore long dresses and chemises as they toiled in the home.

Recipe Summary No-Knead Oatmeal-Millet Peasant Bread

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!

Ingredients | Peasant Clothing Drawing

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

Directions

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.

The Dutch oven needs to preheat for at least 20 minutes; do that during the second rise to save time.
