Oatmeal Bread with Cinnamon, Raisins and Hazelnuts


I'm finally out of bed and of course one of the first things to do after having been sick a week and a half is: bread. And since the freezer is empty, I opted for making a straight bread. In the meantime I took the sourdough out of the fridge and prepared it for tomorrow's bread.

The straight-forward bread I chose is from  Hamelman's BREAD book: Oatmeal Bread with Cinnamon and Raisins. I made a few adaptations to the original recipe. I made it 50% whole wheat instead of Hamelman's 25%. I added Hazelnuts and made rolls and one loave instead of three loaves. Also, I used sugar instead of honey.

Bread turned out nice, but I'm not overly enthusiastic about it. The dough part is too light in my opinion. Maybe next time I'll make it 75% whole-wheat.
