Struan

Can anyone comment on the idea of using 5 grain cereal from Bob's Red Mill in this bread? I seem to remember reading that it could be used but can't find a reference under Struan. Maybe the cereal was used for something else? Thanks for any ideas, A.

Can't speak from experience

Can't speak from experience (yet), but it sounds good to me. I have some similar cereal (I think: it's 5 grains, all rolled like oatmeal) that I've used in other breads with good results. I've actually been tossing around trying it in my next attempt at Struan-like bread.

Using Bob's cereal

Hi,

 I have a batch of PR's Struan from the WHole Grains book rising right now, using cooked Bob's Red Mill 5-grain cereal.  I found that the dough was very very wet and had to use quite a bit more flour when kneading.   I also used a sourdough starter, so am waiting for rising a bit longer than expected.

 I'll let you know how it turns out!
