dirks-dense-oatmeal-bread recipe Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 00:26:09 EST From: ASconyers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) We just made a yummy loaf of very dense, somewhat ugly oatmeal bread that had a nice, chewy texture to it-- about as opposite of Wonder bread as you can get ;-) To make the oatmeal flour, just whir oatmeal in a blender or food processor until it is fine (its ok if there are a few larger pieces left). This made a 2 lb loaf in a breadmaker, though it was half the size of a "normal" loaf, and the top fell in a little. But it was baked all the way through, and was delicious, especially with a touch of honey in the morning. We may experiment around with using a little wheat gluten to keep it from falling, but I suspect it will lose the nice texture. We may also try just making the dough int he machine, and baking a nice round loaf in the oven next time, too. Anyway, here's the recipe for a 2 lb loaf in a bread machine: Dirk's Dense Oatmeal Bread (T) 1 1/2 c. water 1 1/2 c. bread flour (white flour labelled "better for bread") 1 c. whole wheat flour 1 1/2 c. oatmeal flour 1/4 c. molasses 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 T yeast Add the ingredients on order listed, and use the whole wheat cycle on the machine. kwvegan vegan
