HOMEMADE OATMEAL BREAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Mix the oats and whole wheat flour in a bowl.
• Add the boiling water and stir.
• Stir in the honey, molasses, if using, oil, and salt and let cool, about 1/2 hour.
• In a small bowl, mix the warm water with the yeast and a pinch of sugar, stirring to dissolve yeast. Place in a warm spot for about 10 minutes until foam forms on the top of the mixture.
• Add the yeast to the oat mixture and mix well.
• Start adding the all-purpose flour 1/2 cup at a time until a firm dough forms.
• Turn out on a lightly floured board and knead 4 to 5 minutes, until the dough is elastic and somewhat smooth.
• Form the dough into a ball and place in a clean, oiled bowl, turning once to coat.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot (70 to 85 F) until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Shape the bread into a sandwich loaf and place it in the pan.
• Spray the top of the loaf with water and sprinkle oatmeal or other desired topping on the bread.
• Cover with a towel and let rise until almost double. (If steaming your bread, skip to the steaming instructions.)
• Meanwhile, heat your oven to 450 F for 1/2 hour; if using a baking stone, heat for 1 hour.
• Slash the top of the loaf with a sharp razor blade.
• Place the loaf pan in the oven and turn down to 400 F. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the bread's internal temperature reaches 190 F.
• Let the bread cool for about 1 hour or so before serving.
• Place an old roasting pan on the rack below the baking stone (if using) or the rack below where the loaf pan will go. After you put the bread in the oven, fill the roasting pan with 2 cups of boiling water.
• Using a squirt bottle, spray water on the sides of the oven two or three times within the first 5 minutes of baking.
• Turn the oven down to 400 F and bake for 30 minutes or more, until the internal temperature of the bread reaches 190 F.
• Bread steams itself dry, so let the loaf cool for at least 2 hours before slicing or it may seem gummy inside.
• Enjoy!

OATMEAL SODA BREAD

Steps:

• In a mini-food processor, fitted with a metal blade, pulse the oatmeal until the meal is very fine. Remove from the processor and turn into a mixing bowl. Stir the buttermilk into the oats and cover with plastic wrap. Let the oatmeal steep in the buttermilk for 12 hours.
• In a mixing bowl, sift the other ingredients together. Stir in the steeped oatmeal and mix well. If the mixture is too wet add a little more flour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with the butter.
• Lightly dust the work surface with some flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead the dough a couple of times to form a soft ball like shape. Press the dough into a round about 2 inches thick. Using a sharp knife, make a criss-cross cut into the bread. Place the bread in the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Serve the bread warm with butter.
