This recipe is a three-fer. Yup. Three different bread recipes in one.

I was already baking two loaves for other people, then decided to make a third for myself (why not, right?). But instead of making a triple batch of one dough, I made three different doughs—rye, white wheat, and oatmeal—then combined them in a braided loaf.

Sounds like a lot of work but these doughs take advantage of an overnight rise so there's very little kneading involved. The braid makes a pretty presentation but if braiding isn't your forte, you could cut the dough into pieces and make a combo monkey bread.

Or, if you just like one of the recipes, you could just make one loaf.

I used raw cane sugar in this recipe but you don't have to. White sugar is fine too.
