MOLASSES BREAD {OUTBACK KNOCK-OFF}

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the dough hook (or in a large bowl with a wooden spoon if powering through this by hand), combine the water, yeast, molasses, cocoa powder, oil, honey, salt, gluten (if using), and 2 cups of the whole wheat flour. Mix until combined.
• With the mixer running, slowly add the rest of the whole wheat flour. Start adding the white flour gradually until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead for 5-7 minutes (about 10-15 if kneading by hand). The dough should be soft and slightly tacky but shouldn't leave a lot of residue on your fingers if you grab a piece.
• Turn the dough into a large, lightly greased bowl, cover with greased plastic wrap or a light towel, and let rise until doubled, 1-2 hours.
• Lightly punch down the dough and divide into three equal pieces. Form into tight oval loaves and place on parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheets (I fit two loaves on one large, rimmed 11X17-inch baking sheet and the third loaf on another baking sheet). Lightly cover with greased plastic wrap or a light towel and let rise until puffy and doubled in size. Optional: right before baking, using a very sharp razor, knife or bread-slashing lame (I use this one from King Arthur Flour), cut three deep slashes in the top of each loaf.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the loaves for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and lightly brush with about a tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle with the oats and bake for another 5-7 minutes.

OATMEAL MOLASSES BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the oats and boiling water. Stir and let stand 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the white sugar, lukewarm water and yeast in a small bowl. Stir to combine and let stand 10 minutes.
• Once oats have soaked, add the molasses, butter and egg to the bowl and stir to combine with a spoon or kneading hook on a mixer. Add the yeast mixture, whole wheat flour, salt and 1 1/2 cups of the all purpose flour.
• Use a spoon or kneading hook to mix in thoroughly. Continue by adding the last cup of flour, in small increments, adding only as much as needed to create a moist dough that wraps the kneading hook and cleans the bowl in spots. You may not need all of the last cup or you may need a bit more that 1 cup. Dough will be quite moist.
• Remove dough to a floured work surface and knead 1 minutes, adding additional flour if dough is sticking to hands or work surface. Form into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, approximately 60-75 minutes.
• Remove dough to a floured work surface. Press to deflate, then divide into 2 equal pieces.
• Take one piece of the dough and roll into a 8 x 11-inch rectangle. Starting from the short side, roll the dough up jelly-roll style and pinch the seams to seal.
• Place into a greased 8 x 4-inch loaf pan. Repeat with the other piece of dough. **If you only have 9x5-inch loaf pans, you can use them here. Roll your dough into a slightly larger 9x12-inch rectangle, so it will fill the larger pan. Your resulting loaf will be wider and shorter and the cooking time may change, so watch closely.
• Cover the pans with greased plastic wrap or a clean tea towel and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375F (not fan-assisted), with rack in the centre of the oven.
• Once loaves are ready to bake, brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with additional rolled oats.
• Bake in preheated over for about 40 minutes, checking after about 25 minutes and covering the tops loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil if loaves are nicely browned already, to prevent over-browning. If you have an instant-read thermometer, baked loaves until the loaves read at least 200F when inserted into the centre of the loaf.
• Remove from oven and immediately remove loaves to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
