Thread Name: BS: adding oatmeal to bread
Subject: RE: BS: adding oatmeal to bread
Here's my bread-machine recipe for bread with bread flour, whole-wheat flour, oatmeal and cracked wheat. (This is where this thread started.) It's a moist loaf, and I use it for toast, mostly.

Cracked wheat consists of hard yellow grains, and I like size 2. You can get it in Mideast markets.

=========
Prepare the cracked wheat. Bring 1/2 cup water to a boil. Add 1/4 cup cracked wheat. Cover and let soak until the grains are soft and cool. I usually let it sit for a couple hours. Drain off excess water.

Make sure paddle is in bread machine. Put in the bread pan:

1 cup luke-warm water
the soaked cracked wheat
1 teaspoon salt
1.5 tablespoons honey (I substitute pancake syrup)
1 tablespoon veg oil
1/2 cup oatmeal (not instant)
1.75 cups bread flour
.75 cups whole wheat flour
1.25 teaspoons bread machine yeast.

Insert bread pan in the machine. Use 1.5-pound setting. Process on setting 1 (basic).
