CINNAMON RAISIN OATMEAL BREAD

Steps:

• At least half an hour before you begin, soak the raisins in warm water.
• Next, soak the oats in the 2 1/2 cups water for 20 to 30 minutes. If you are using active dry yeast instead of instant yeast, which I did, withhold 1/2 cup of the water to proof the yeast inches.
• Mix the flours, yeast, milk, honey, oil, salt, and cinnamon into the oats. Mix well, until all of the flour is hydrated. Knead by hand for 5 minutes or in a standmixer for 3, then mix in the drained raisins. Knead or mix until the raisins are distributed throughout the dough.
• Cover the bowl of dough and allow it to rise for 1 hour. Then remove the dough from the bowl and fold it, degassing it gently as you do.
• Place the dough on a floured work surface, top side down. Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter, gently degassing as you do. Fold in thirds again the other way. Flip the dough over, dust off as much of the raw flour as you can, and place it back into the bowl.
• Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise in bulk again for another hour. Then divide the dough in thirds and shape the loaves.
• Place each shaped loaf into a greased bread pan. Spray or gently brush each loaf with water and sprinkle with some more oats.
• Cover the pans and set aside to rise until the loaves crest above the edge of the pans, roughly 90 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450. Place the loaves in the center rack of the oven. After 5 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375. Rotate the loaves 180 degrees after 20 minutes, and bake for another 15 to 25 minutes, until the tops of the loaves are nicely browned, the bottoms of the loaves make a hollow sound when tapped, and the internal temperature of the loaf registers above 185 degrees when measured with an instant read thermometer.

FRESH ORANGE-OATMEAL BREAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the oats and buttermilk; cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, grate the zest from the oranges and reserve.
• With a small sharp knife, cut off the remaining outer white membranes.
• Cut or pull apart the oranges into sections and coarsely chop, taking care not to lose too much of the juice.
• Place the chopped sections in a small bowl and add the zest and orange liqueur; set aside at room temperature to macerate as you continue.
• While the fruit macerates, make the streusel: combine the brown sugar and flour in a small bowl; work in the cold pieces of butter with your fingers, a fork, or a pastry blender until coarse crumbs are formed.
• This can also be done with an electric mixer or food processor, if desired; set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350°; grease eight 4 x 2 1/2 inch mini-loaf pans or spray them with cooking spray.
• Add the sugars, oil, and eggs to the cold oat-buttermilk mixture; beat with a whisk until combined.
• Stir in the macerated oranges and all the juices.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; add the wet ingredients and stir with a large spatula just until combined; the batter will be lumpy.
• Scrape batter into the prepared pans until just level with the top of the pan.
• Sprinkle each loaf with a few tablespoons of the streusel.
• Bake in the center of the oven for about 30-35 minutes.
• When done, the tops of the loaves will be firm to the touch, the loaves will pull away from the sides of the pans, and a cake tester will come out clean.
• Let the loaves stand in the pans for 5 minutes at room temperature before turning them out of the pans onto a rack, then turning them right side up to cool.
• Slice and serve.
