  1. Yep. Outstanding. The first time it came out a little gooey in the middle, so since then I have been adding about 3/4 cup more flour and baking at 350 for a hour. Perfect every time. Incredible taste and texture, and so easy to make. It's in the once-a-week rotation.
     
  2. Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly... my hubby and I couldn't wait so after the timer dinged we took off the top of the bread and ate it! Then we put it back in the oven, as the center was not quite set. I think next time I will cook it a bit longer, on a lower temperature. I will definitely make it again. Thank you so much for the recipe :)
     
  3. This is a very easy recipe and a pretty good bread! I had to add some extra flour and couldn't find my plain oatmeal and so used 3 packets of Quaker Simple Harvest Apple Cinnamon. As it turns out, this was a great sub because it added some very nice flavor! Thank you for the recipe!
     
  4. Wow is this easy. We bake a lot of bread, and casserole breads are among our favorites because of the reduced kneading. I made a lot of mistakes with this bread -- I accidentally grabbed the rolled barley flakes instead of oat flakes, then dumped in some oat bran that was in a bag labeled "whole wheat flour" -- I've got to get my cabinets organized. Still, it was easy and good. Made for ZWT III
     
  5. A very nice loaf! It is indeed beautiful, rising up nice and round above the casserole. Lovely slight sweetness and great texture from the oats. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Thank you so much for such a wonderful recipe! It was crusty outside and soft inside.. Wonderful! Wasn't too sweet either. I used rolled oats instead of quick-cooking oats, and warm water instead of boiling water.. Turned out fine nonetheless! Thanks for a keeper again Wildflour!
