As any good breadbaker should know, adding any grains or flours other than bread or AP will require more yeast and more rising time than a traditional loaf. Also other variables (altitude, humidity, etc.) will also have to be factored in to ANY bread recipe. Bread baking is both a science and an art. -
I did not find this bread very appealing. The flavor is not bad, but it is very bland. I cannot taste any oatmeal at all. The poster did say it was a light bread, and it is, but I also had some trouble getting it to rise, as did the other reviewer. I also think that using 1 cup of oatmeal to 5 1/2 cups flour does not constitute bread that is good for the health, especially with the rather large proportion of sugar. -
Great taste. Some difficulty in getting it to rise in the loaf pans.

Still in West Virginia but we've moved a few miles away, down to the county capitol. It's a compromise: bigger than our last town but smalelr than the "big city" of Cumberland MD, right up the road. Jobs are not that plentiful here so I am fortunate to be able to work at home (I'm a writer). My passion is cooking and feeding people family well....my pet peeve is the family court systems in America......my love is for emergency medicine and the people that make survival in a crisis possible
