Adding Oatmeal to a Recipe - Reduce amount of flour?
I recently made a loaf of farm style white with cardamom that had an unbelievable crumb and moisture. I over did it with the cardamom but it tasted great toasted with butter and cinnamon sugar.
I decided the texture would be great for cinnamon raisin bread. However, I want to ad some oatmeal to it. This is how I plan to modify the recipe below:
Add 4 cups of soaked raisins
Substitute 4T of cinnamon for the cardamom
Add 300 g (dry weight) of soaked oatmeal
Reduce flour by XXX grams??
How much flour should I remove? Any other modifications required?
Below is the recipe I intend to use.
4 c boiling water
1-2/3 c instant nonfat milk
4 T butter
1 T salt
1 c sugar
1/2 c warm water
2 T yeast
Pinch of sugar
10 Cardamom pods (I used 1.5 tsp)
12 c AP flour
