2 breads
ingredients
- 473.18 ml oatmeal, left coarse
- 946.36 ml wheat flour
- 44.37 ml dry yeast
- 709.77-946.36 ml warm water
- 78.78 ml oil
- 14.79 ml salt
- 14.79 ml sugar
- 118.29 ml cracked wheat (optional)
directions
- Mix together the oatmeal, flour and dry yeast.
- Using 3 cups of water, add oil, salt and sugar and mix until dissolved.
- Add flour to the water and knead in mixer (I have a KitchenAid) for 10 minutes.
- It is very important that this dough be sticky in the beginning as the oatmeal must have the moisture to soften and expand. If the dough does not stick to the sides of the bowl, add little bits of water from the 4th cup until it does.
- Leave dough in the mixer, cover with a cloth and let it rise until the dough makes a dome over the top of the bowl.
- Switch on the mixer and knead for 5 minutes.
- Grease breadpans and sprinkle insides with cracked wheat.
- Divide dough into equal pieces and place in breadpans to rise.
- Once dough has domed nicely in the breadpan, place in oven heated to 160C and bake for 60 minutes.

Dense, chewy and delicious! I used instant yeast (reduced the amount), canola oil, and sprinkled some oats on top before baking. I let it rise 30 minutes in the mixing bowl, and another 30 minutes in the loaf pans. I divided the dough into 6 balls, placing 3 balls in each loaf pan. When kneading the second time, for 5 minutes, I covered it in white flour and kneaded by hand. The outside of the bread was stiff after baking, so I brushed it with butter, and that helped it soften. This is very easy to make and definitely worth it. Thanks for the great recipe.

I was born and raised in South Africa but now live in Delaware USA. Since I can remember I have been cooking! My first real cooking experience was when I was 7. I came home from school one afternoon and felt like French toast. My elder brother was home with his friends and did not want to make it for me, so I got a pan out, put it on the stove, turned the stove on to high. After that I could not remember what to do, but I knew that French toast involved bread so I put the bread in the hot pan without grease and poured milk over it! Oy vey... My brother's friend asked me what I was trying to make and I told him. He laughed and told me I was making it wrong but he also taught me how to make French toast the right way. I came home every day after that and made French toast. I felt so confident with the little bit of knowledge I had acquired that I soon started experimenting with other things. Nothing was going to stop me! The first full meal I ever made for my family was boiled rice and oven roasted chicken pieces with a steamed vegetable medley. I was 8 years old and my mom was in hospital. My dad was struggling to hold down an intensely busy job, keep the family going and be with my mom, so I thought I would help him. I don't think he believed that I had done it on my own. I remember telling him that I read in a cookery book how to make a roast chicken but I did not know what "a" rosemary was so I just put the chicken in the dish without it. Decades later with a myriad tried and tested recipes behind me - flops and failures included - I know my way around any food item and kitchen utensil, much to my family's delight!
