We just ordered 50 pounds of steel cut oats from JAR Baker's supply, Crow Point Road in Lincoln Rhode island. Check them out if you've never been there. Ask for Val Medeiros.

I have fallen in love with adding steel cut oats and coarse cornmeal to my sourdough bread. I love texture. Also when using a white bread flour (like I do in summer) these added whole grains contribute to the nutrition. The crusts are crunchy! I also added rye flour given to me as a gift. The rye is so smooth is reminds me of talcum powder.

Last week I used Price Rite white flour leftover from my bread workshop and I added 2 cups of Price Rite coarse cornmeal and 2 cups of Price Rite steel cut oats to the white flour along with 3cups of sourdough starter. It was the best bread I've made in a long time.

Toast sandwiches: red onion, thinly sliced pickles, and pepper jack slice of cheese, and fresh basil leaf, green olives.
