has anyone tried the cobnut loaf in Dan Lepards book, the handmade loaf ?

I did try it last year but with hazlenuts and soaked grains , but it was a complet disaster!!!!!!

The recipe calls for rye grains, now iv'e had no success using any grains, so I wondered whether to substitute rye flakes (or chops as i think you guys call them), or I could increase the amount of either the wholemeal flour or the white flour. What do you think ?

Cheers
