Porridge Bread from KA

Bonnie G #2's Note:

I LOVE KA's pompanoosuc porridge and always make sure I've have it on hand. It's similar to steel or Irish Oats so think either one woul work in this recipe, though I love the pompanoosuc. It's a heavy bread, with a lovely texture and intersting flavo and easy to prepare I got this on the back of the Pompanoouc bag that I ordered from KA. Prep time does not incude rising.
