Five Grain?!
Todays Bake included the Five grain bread, Pain Au Levain, semolina baguettes and the vermont sourdough (no pictures sry) out of hamelmans book. But upon looking at the 5 grain recipe i only came up with 4 grains. If anyone could clarify for me that would be awesome. I stuck with the batard shape as i will be picking up a few wicker baskets soon. al so if anyone has any ideas on loaf shapes let me know! enjoy comments questions and whatever else are always welcome. ( sorry about the medicore pictures they came off my iphone.)

Wheat
Rye
Oats
Flaxseed (counts as a "grain" as it is the seed of a grasslike plant)
Corn
Nice bread! Good work!
Hope this helps.
There totally isn't corn on my recipe I had
Flax
Rye chops
Oats
Sunflower Seeds
But wheat flour may be the other grain ah ha!
Sorry. Yes. There is another 5 grain in the same book - sans levain.
Yes - wheat IS a grain...:>)
Thanks a bunch it was totally boggling my mind trying to figure it out. Success!
Beautiful loaves.
Lovely loaves of bread....and I sure wish I had some of those bread bags!! : )

What mediocre pictures???????
Those are amazing!
Really? those are great photos! Beautiful looking loaves, I am envious of your shaping and scoring ability.
Thanks everyone for all the comments, I think its less about scoring but how the dough is handled up until the score and providing a really hot steamed up oven w/ stone so it can grow. But i have to admit proofing bread in a couche and using a thin flexible double edge razor blade are your best friends if looking for a good slash. All the pictures did infact come off my iphone which gave pretty good results when a real camera isn't near
