Add to yeast mixture; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add egg, oats and 2 cups flour; beat on high for 2 minutes. Stir in nuts and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch dough down. Shape into two round loaves; place on greased baking sheets. With sharp knife, cut four parallel slashes on top of each loaf. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 375° for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.

LEFTOVER OATMEAL BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the yeast, bread flour, 1/4 cup toasted, uncooked oats, and the salt in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
• Combine the leftover cooked oatmeal, warm water, agave syrup, and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large mixing bowl. Add the dry mixture to the cooked oatmeal mixture in 3 installments and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon after each addition.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead by hand for 10 minutes, incorporating more flour, if needed. Dough will be sticky. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl or container. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and put it into a lightly oiled 9 by 5-inch loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the egg yolk and water in a small bowl. Lightly brush the top of the loaf with egg wash and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon toasted, uncooked oats. Bake until the bread reaches an internal temperature registers 210 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 55 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the loaf from the pan to a cooling rack for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

TOASTED OATS BREAD

Steps:

• The night before making the bread, combine the flour, water, and starter. Cover and let sit in a warm spot.
• The night before making the bread, add the rolled oats to a dry cast iron or stainless skillet and place it over medium high heat. Stir the oats regularly, until the oats are fragrant, about 7 minutes. Transfer them to a medium bowl and stir in the boiling water. Cover and let sit overnight.
• Sift the whole wheat flour into a large mixing bowl. Reserving the bran for dusting the brotform. Add the bread flour and water to the sifted whole wheat flour. Stir with a wooden spoon or dough whisk.
• Add the starter to the large bowl. Use a dough whisk or wooden spoon to form a rough dough. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle the salt over the dough.
• With a wet hand, pinch and squeeze the salt into the dough. Keep pinching and folding the dough over itself until it is relatively smooth. Cover and let rest for about 30 minutes.
• Add the oats to the dough, and, using a wet hand, fold the dough over itself from all four "sides." Continue to fold until the oats are incorporated. Cover and let rest for 30 more minutes.
• Repeat the folding step 2 more times in 30 minute intervals. After the final time of folding, leave the covered bowl in a draft free area until the dough has almost doubled.
• Dust the insides of a brotform or a towel lined 9 inch bowl with the bran and some all purpose flour. You can also add a bit of rice flour to prevent sticking.
• Turn the dough out onto your work surface and flatten it into a disk. Without breaking the skin on the bottom, use the dough scraper to fold the dough in half. Turn the dough a quarter turn and continue folding until a ball is created. Leave it seam side down and use the sides of the dough scraper to tighten the dough ball further.
• Place shaped loaf seam-side up in the brotform. Cover with a damp tea towel or oiled plastic wrap and let sit for an hour or so to allow the loaf to almost double.
• You can use the finger dent test to see if the dough is ready (press the dough with a wet finger and if it springs back right away, wait another 15 minutes. If it comes back slowly, the dough is ready).
• Place a cast-iron combo cooker (or lidded Dutch oven) on the middle rack of your oven and preheat the oven to hot (we set ours to 450F).
• When ready to bake, remove the hot combo cooker from the oven and remove the lid. Cover your banneton with heavy duty parchment paper and place a plate over the parchment. Flip the whole thing over and lift off the brotform. Using the parchment paper, transfer the round along with the parchment on the bottom, into the hot shallow pan of the combo-cooker. Using a lame, sharp knife, or scissors, score the bread in the pattern you like.
• Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on. After 30 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and transfer the loaf to a baking sheet. Place the loaf back in the oven and continue baking for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the crust is dark golden brown and the bread sounds reaches an internal temperature of about 205 degrees F.
• Cool the loaf completely on a wire rack.

• Spray a large bowl with cooking spray.
• Scoop dough out of mixer bowl and place in oiled bowl, turning once to coat dough.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
• Butter two 9x5 inch loaf pans or line with parchment paper or non-stick foil.
• Punch down the dough and using a pastry scraper, scrape it out onto a clean work surface. Cut it in half with a sharp knife or bench scraper.
• For each half, evenly flatten the dough with the heel of your hand. Roll the top third down onto itself and seal it y pushing it gently down with the heal of your hand.
• Continue rolling and sealing the dough until you have an oval log. Place the logs, into the pans.
• Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm draft free spot until the double in size, 45 - 60 minutes.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat to 375*F
• Mist the tops of the loaves with water. Sprinkle the tops with a generous handful of regular oats.
