This recipe is from the aunt of a childhood friend, and we used to eat this bread in her mother's funky house with butter and homemade jam slathered atop. Usually I only make sourdough these days but I was feeling a little nostalgic for this fall apart good bread, and I have work calls every morning which is making the sourdough process difficult. Plus it's good to see that I don't lose my yeast bread skills. :)
Heat (not to boiling):
- 2 cups liquid (originally all water, but I like it 1 c water, 1 c milk - next time I'll use up powdered milk)
- 1-2 T honey (she called for 1/2 c)
- 2 T butter
Mix in a bowl:
- 1 c oats
- 1 T salt
Add warm liquid to oats and let set about 1/2 hour.
Proof yeast: 2 T (packages) yeast in 1/3 c. water w/dash of sugar
Add yeast water to oats when at appropriate temperature.
Add flour until kneadable (4-5 cups, so about 240 g. wheat ground, then white bread or all-purpose flour).
Knead, let rise, punch down and shape into two loaves, let rise again.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40ish minutes.
