Oat bread

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make oat bread? Prepare your food. You can take absolutely any oat flakes, both quick and long-cooked. But with flakes cooked for a long time, the bread will turn out more fluffy and tasty. Even the cheapest flakes will do. The amount of flour is approximate; it may take more or less than stated in the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Heat the water to a temperature of about 40 degrees. It is important not to overheat it; in too hot an environment, yeast, living organisms, will die. But even if it is too cold, there is no chance for them to wake up. The ideal water for activating yeast should be pleasant to the hand and noticeably warm. Take a mixing bowl and add the cereal into it. Add salt and yeast. Just pour dry ones, crumble fresh ones. Pour warm water over the flakes and mix well.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cover the bowl with a towel and leave for 20 minutes. During this time, good, active yeast will have to wake up and start working. Foam will appear on the surface. The flakes will become soggy and increase in size.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pre-sieve the flour, this will not only remove possible impurities, but also saturate it with oxygen, which will make the baked goods more airy. Start adding the sifted flour to the oatmeal mixture. Add it in small portions, stirring the dough after each. Stop as soon as the mixture thickens. Excess flour will make the bread hard. I used less flour than stated in the recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   Take a baking pan suitable for baking bread. Any heat-resistant material will do - iron, silicone, ceramic, glass. There is no need to lubricate the silicone one; lubricate the others with vegetable oil. I have a silicone mold, size 20*9 cm. Place the dough in the mold, smooth the top with a spatula.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the pan with the bread in a cold place!!! oven and only then turn it on, setting the temperature to 225°C. The bread will be ready in 25-30 minutes. It rises a lot when baking, keep that in mind. The bread should be well browned.

7. STEP 7

   

   Immediately remove the finished loaf from the pan and place it on a wire rack. Cover the bread with a towel and leave until completely cool. Fresh bread has a hard crust, but after it sits in the bag, it becomes softer. The inside of the bread is soft and fluffy. Bon appetit!

After reading that the author was afraid and I began to be afraid 😰, but I trusted the author and not in vain 👍 I was missing oatmeal in the cupboard and I came across this recipe, surprisingly, there were 164 grams of cereal, exactly the amount needed for bread😉. Preparing the dough is very quick and easy. I also used less flour than in the recipe, about 100 grams. I baked it in two molds; one didn’t fit all the dough. The oatmeal bread rose twice in the oven 😳, although there was no proofing. The bread is hard on the outside, but very soft on the inside, I liked the structure and color of the crumb. Good slightly unusual taste 😋, it’s hard to guess that it contains oatmeal.

Now my hands have reached this bread! I ground the flakes, didn’t risk adding whole flour, 1st grade flour, took everything according to the recipe, didn’t subtract anything, just added 1 tsp of salt. I sifted the flour and mixed it with dry yeast and ground flakes, added water and kneaded the dough, it turned out not dense, like very thick sour cream. I put it in a mold and let it sit for 25 minutes in a cold oven, the dough rose well, it came out at 190°C for about 60 minutes. I checked with a skewer, it remained dry, took it out and wrapped it in a linen towel. It turned out simple🔥🔥🔥! Thanks for the recipe🤗🤗🤗
