I made this bread but substituted 2 cups of wheat flour for 2 cups of white flour. My bread rose nicely the first time, but once I had shaped the loaves and placed them in pans, it did not rise as much during the second rise as I had expected. Once baked, it made a dense, chewy bread. It tasted delicious, but not as light as I had hoped. Perhaps it is because of the wheat flour. Before this, I had only made white bread. -
Wow, this was so good! I was looking for a simple recipe for oatmeal bread and this fit the bill perfectly. It tastes wonderful with honey or even by itself! I halved the recipe, used an 8x4 pan and ended up with a nice sized loaf. I used only about half a tablespoon of butter and about 2 tablespoons extra brown sugar. I toasted my oatmeal beforehand just because I like the taste it brings out when toasted, but I will try it next time without doing that just to see if there actually is a difference when using it this way. I definitely will be making it again since my family has already requested for me to make it again! Thanks for the delicious recipe! -
