Yep I was out of bread flour too. Was good flavor but did not rise well. Don`t feed it to the chickens. It makes great French Toast. I cook up a bunch and layer it between wax paper and bag it and freeze it. Quick breakfast for those "get out of the house quick" days or school day breakfast for the kids.

Great idea for using the bread, but this had no elasticity to the dough(it was really bad). maybe that's what makes pastry flour make such nice pie dough, though. Not much or no gluten.

Honey Oatmeal Bread
1/2 c.Rolled oats or 5 grain (hot) cereal
1 c. hot water
1 c. warm milk
1 T. yeast
1/3 c. honey
1 T butter/oil
2 t. salt
5-51/2 c. flour
Soften oats/cereal with hot water for few minutes. Add milk and check temp. before adding yeast, continue with remaining ingredients except the last 1/2 cup of flour. Add the last of the flour as needed.
Let rest for a few minutes and then knead again till smooth. I use a Kitchen Aid mixer to do this and it works wonderfully. Let rise until double. Divide into two loaves shape. Let rise again and bake at 350 degrees for 23-25 min. Good luck and enjoy if you make this.
I buy bread flour for my bread, also.
This does not in any way remind you of wonder bread. It it awesome. |
Thanks for this recipe Carolyn, made it tonight and it is delicious.. Thanks so much!

I was wondering whether your recipe could be appled and used in a bread making machine? I recently got one as a present, and I'm keen to give it a work-out. I don't see why more exotic recipes like yours shouldn't work.
But of course there will be those who say that using a machine is cheating! Well, why do people use lawnmowers when you could cut the grass with sissors is what i say!

Hi Colin, if you reduce the recipe for 1 loaf, I don't see why not and I know the yeast for bread machines is "different" , but, I think, I have used regular yeast in mine....A very LONG time ago. 1 loaf recipes are just not enough for my family. Give it a try anyhow and let us know how it turned out. And Do use bread flour, it has a higher gluten content and makes much nicer dough.

thought it might be helpful if I showed what bread making machine I've got in case abyone has experience of using it! The instructions look simple.. but I've had trouble in the past with another breadmaker! The results were inedible! Hoping this one will work!
