Oatmeal Toasting Bread
Yesterday, Farmgirl posted a recipe on her blog for Oatmeal Toasting Bread. I had to make some today. How can you resist a name like that? Besides, we needed bread anyway. This bread took a little more time to make than my usual honey-oat-whole wheat, but it was fun. Here is the oat/sugar/water/butter mixture before the flour and yeast are added (looks a lot like the oatmeal we ate just before this!):
Here is the dough just before I shaped it into loaves:
Here I am brushing the tops with water and coating them with oats (I think I went a little overboard on the oats...)
Here is the finished bread! It needs more baking time in my world, so it was a bit doughy, and I should've worked on the loaf shaping more (my usual bread doesn't need much shaping) but I'm definitely a fan and I'll be making this again!

Sarah, how do you get your bread to rise? Mine never does--at least not since we moved up here. I used to make white flour 45 minute rolls at BYU, and they always turned out marvelous . . . but any experimenting with whole grains up here and I'm done for. I did make some really yummy rosemary focaccia to use as pizza crust (which was awesome), but it didn't have to rise. /sigh/ I really don't want to keep paying almost $4/loaf for spelt bread, but I'm totally at a loss. Any ideas for really simple, whole grain flour bread?
