  • 567 g water (62.5%)
  • 99 g milk (10.94%)

Mix water, milk, salt, whole wheat, and rolled-oats in a bowl and let sit for 15 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix for 3 minutes in mixer, or 5 to 8 minutes by hand. Desired dough temperature is 76°F. Ferment for 2 hours, folding after 1 hour or retard overnight. Shape, proof for 1 to 1.5 hours, steam, bake for 15 minutes at 460°F, and 20-25 minutes at 430°F.
