Cobnut loaf with honey and grains (or not!)
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 ?

I'm zooming in to attack....so get ready....the ryes need defending!
First of all ....Define: "Disaster" because I can't believe it was complete. Underbaked? Flat? What? Did it explode your kitchen? (would that make it a UFE?) Be as specific as you can... I'm not the only one paying attention...

Ok, everytime iv'e used grains, rye or barley or whatever, they are always tough. Ive boiled them and soaked them but still end up in edible. Enough for my wife to say, well you could always use the bread to hold the door open !!!!!!!!!
