Quote of the Day

When a man is getting worse, he understands his own badness less and less. A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right. ~ C.S. Lewis

oatmeal bread: stand-mixer & bread-oven

A nice loaf, great for breakfast toast.
Oatmeal Bread

1 1/3 C rolled oats (toasted, or not, your call)
1/2 C water
3/4 C + 2 Tb moo
2 Tb butter, cut up
3 1/3 C flour
1/4 C brown sugar
1 t salt
1 1/4 t breadmaker yeast
3 Tb flax seeds (optional)


recipe heavily modified from Best Bread Machine Recipes
Put ingredients into your stand mixer and run mixer on low for 20 minutes. Pull the dough off the hook and out of bowl (I just balance it in one hand for a minute). Flour inside of bowl and return dough to bowl; leave bread hook in place.

L
et dough rise until double (about 2 hours) and then pop the bread hook back into the bowl. Knead for 4 minutes.

T
urn oven on to 400-425 and put the empty bread-oven into the oven to preheat.

L
et dough rise until double (about 20-40 minutes) and then put the dough into the hot bread-oven.

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when thumped.
