Ingredients

• 300 grams Whole wheat flour
• 50 grams Rolled oats
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 250 milliliters Warm water
• 15 milliliters Olive oil
• 5 grams Salt
• 250 grams Chicken liver
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 units Garlic cloves
• 30 grams Butter
• 15 milliliters Cognac or brandy
• 5 grams Thyme
• 3 grams Black pepper
• 3 grams Salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the bread. Combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and instant yeast in a large bowl.

Step 2

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 7

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 8

While the bread is baking, prepare the liver pate. Start by cleaning the chicken livers, removing any connective tissues.

Step 9

Chop the onion and garlic finely.

Step 10

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté until translucent and fragrant.

Step 11

Add chicken livers to the skillet, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Step 12

Add cognac, allowing it to cook off and infuse flavor into the livers.

Step 13

Season with thyme, black pepper, and salt. Continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 14

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly before transferring it to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 15

Slice the freshly baked bread and spread the liver pate generously on each slice.

Step 16

Serve immediately as a flavorful and nutritious meal or snack.
