Thread Name: BS: adding oatmeal to bread
Subject: RE: BS: adding oatmeal to bread
We used to have a bread making book that I bought my wife in about 1980. It fell to bits and I can't remember its name. We have baked bread ever since and it set my mother off making her own bread for most of her life from the 70's onwards as I bought it for her too

The thing I remember outside of normal bread was that we made a sunflower seed loaf and an oatmeal loaf. The oatmeal loaf was "oaty" and made great toast.

I tried the following yesterday and made a single oat loaf (I used rolled oats rather than oatmeal) and it is not bad but lacks a real oat punch but was pleasant.

1 sachet yeast
1 cup white flour
1 cup wholewheat flour
1 cup rolled oats (used a few more for the actual making than the recipe)
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Mix it up and knead. Leave to rise. Cook at 350F for 35-40 mins

Nice with cheese yesterday and made nice toast this morning
