Hi. Thank you very much for the article. I am wondering if the recipe also calls flour multi-grain including oatmeal (see below), do I count these into flour weight to calculate hydration as well? In addition, if I want to add chia seeds, how much should I add so it doesn't affect the hydration as chia seeds naturally absorb liquid? Thank you very much.

1/2 cup (60g) dry multigrain cereal mix or rolled oats
1 and 3/4 cups (410ml) boiling water
3 Tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3 and 1/3 cups (433g) bread flour
