Porridge Oat Bread: :-)

[Zak33]

This recipe is ideal for your breakmaker. I've just finished a batch, and it's like a sweet cake/bread combo.

It's really really nice

Whack all of these ingredients into your bread maker and set it to a fast loaf setting (ie about 1 hour 40, it doesnt need to be a long one, as it doesnt rise like bread)

I use a standard plastic cup for measuring, which is 8oz. I'm a scummer, so I use it for both wet and dry ingredients without rinsing or drying. Yep...the sugar and flour sticks to it cos its wet from milk...but life goes on and it saves using 4 different pots, result: same nice result)

MILK 225ml (8 fl oz) (remember where the milk comes too in the jug, we'll use it again to save washing up)
2 EGGS beaten
SUNFLOWER OIL 1/2 a tea spoon
GOLDEN SYRUP or HONEY 2 Table spoons
SUGAR 2 oz (thats 1/4 of the space the milk took)
SALT 1 teaspoon
PLAIN FLOUR 1 lb (thats twice as much as the milk took up in the jug)
PORRIDGE OATS 8oz (thats same space as the milk took in the jug)
BAKING POWDER 1/2 tea spoon
BICARBONATE of SODA 1/2 tea spoon

And thats it. It goes all wet when mixing, and then cooks a dark brown.

sounds nice Zak.

need to think about getting a bread machine, but i don't think i've got space to store it atm

I made room....literally. I use it every week. It's invaluable.

It sounds like delicious oat bread I guess some people who are looking at some bread like this, they will like it. Maybe I will try to bake it one day when I have a day off in my work.

I think you should try the recipe on your day off work and come back and report how you liked it

Lol Zak. I am similar with the one cup, that came with the breadmaker. But after I put the wet in (milk) I tend to give it a rinse and dry before doing the flour.

I've found that 4 cups of flour, to make a 2lb loaf, is exactly 600g. For a wholemeal I tend to do 400g of white and 200g of wholemeal, granery, etc. Save's pouring/scooping loads of flour.

Oh, and thanks for this recipe. I might even give it a go

I'm still using the premade packs of flour incl yeast/etc, not yet brave enough to go it alone after a failure with my first go with seperate ingredients, this oat loaf sounds nice though, very intrigued (although granted I should have noticed it by now looking at the OP date)

[Clingy]

I'll give it a go.

I have made soda bread before in the breadmaker....very nice.
