This is quite a heavy bread, as you would expect with the ingredients. Has a feel of dutch 'roggebrood', or pumpernickel, without being quite so dark or heavy.

I haven't tried as yet, but I think the dough could have more hydration, - a bit more water.

It takes quite a while to make in elapsed time, so start the day before, but very little effort required. Allow 2 hours for the soaker, 4-5 hours proving and then bake, as well as cooling for 12 hours before eating.

==Ingredients==
;for the soaker
:75g oats, e.g. porage oats
:75g linseeds, or flax seeds
:150ml water
;for the dough
:170g wholemeal flour
:170g wholemeal (dark) rye flour
:85g bread flour
:205ml water (I think this could be more, maybe 230ml)
:100g rye or wholemeal sourdough starter 
:45g black treacle, i.e. about 2 Tbsps
:10g salt

==Method==
# '''Make soaker''' Mix the soaker ingredients together and allow to stand for at least 2 hours
# '''Make dough''' Mix all the ingredients, including the soaker, together in a bowl to make a shaggy dough. Leave to prove at room temperature in a lightly oiled bowl for 45 minutes.
# '''Fold''' Give the dough  single fold, i.e. gently pull each side of dough over the top. Prove for a further 45 minutes
# '''Pre-shape''' Flatten the dough out on a lightly floured surface and form into a ball
# '''Shape''' Grease a loaf tin and shape the dough for the tin, placing seam side down, gently pushing the dough down so that the corners get filled.  Cover and leave to prove for 2-3 hours or even longer. It won't rise much
# '''Bake''' Slash a line down the length of the dough and bake in a 210℃ oven for 50-60 minutes.  Remove from tin immediately and allow to cool completely on a rack before slicing - ideally for 12 hours or more.
