Sharing Bread
This high-rising, moist bread features oats and whole wheat, along with a healthy percentage of bread flour, to increase its rise. It makes wonderful sandwiches and toast. And it highlights a lovely way to share fresh-baked bread: two loaves baked in a single pan, then pulled apart when cool.
This recipe comes from Gail McNeill, a veteran bread baker and King Arthur fan. Gail uses Demerara sugar and kosher salt for all her baking; thus we call for those ingredients here. You may certainly substitute regular granulated sugar; and table salt, which you'd want to reduce to 2 teaspoons (from kosher salt's 1 tablespoon; table salt measures differently than coarser-grained kosher salt).
