Brenda's Seeded Oat Bread

This bread was literally unplanned. I had started doing my builds of levain for this weekend's loaves when my daughter asked if I could make a couple of loaves for a friend that was in need. She wanted something healthy with seeds. So after weighing out the seeds I needed for my other loaves, this is what I came up with.

Levain - I took 30 g of my starter from the second build and fed it 30 g wholewheat, 120 g unbleached flour and 120 g warm water. I let it rise for about 6 hours. 

Seeds - I toasted 25 g black sesame seeds, 30 g sunflower seeds, 50 g pumpkin seeds, and 50 g hemp hearts. 

Soaker - I poured 250 g of boiling water over 100 g rolled oats and let cool while the levain was doing its thing. 

Autolyse - To 600 g of warm water, I added the Oat soaker, the seeds, 678 g unbleached flour, 194 g whole grain wheat flour, and 96 g dark rye flour. 

Final Mix - After the autolyse, I added 22 g salt, 275 g of levain (80% hydration), and found that the dough needed and extra 80 g of water. 

Fermentation - I did four sets of many folds 1/2 hour apart. I let the dough then rise until double which took 5.5 hours in my oven with the light on and the door cracked open. 

Divide and rest - I split the dough into two on a floured counter, preshaped it using the envelope fold method, and let it rest 15 minutes. I then did the final shaping and popped them into rice floured baskets. 

Proofing - The baskets went into ziplock bags and into the fridge for a cold rise of 11.25 hours. 

Baking - I turned out the loaves on a cornmeal dusted counter, scored the loaves with a sort of a D shape and put them in Dutch ovens lined with parchment circles. I baked as usual for 20 minutes at 500 F, 10 minutes at 450 F and then another 25 minutes with the lid off. 

I was pretty darn pleased with these unplanned loaves and thought these are perfect for Homemade Bread Day. I got great oven rise and they sure smelled good. I would expect the crumb to be pretty nice too. I plan to make these again for us one day.
