Oatmeal Bread

I think you've confused posts. I mentioned scalding to inhibit protease. Cake yeast is essentially 100% "alive" (as long as its fresh). It will provide a consistent even-paced rise and for that reason some bakers prefer it for any long-rising dough. Other bakers have switched to osmotolerant yeast for long-rising "rich" doughs. (i.e. SAF Gold designed for high sugar breads and acidic sourdoughs). Some can detect a difference in the flavor between cake yeast and dry yeast. Others don't. Active dry yeast is a live culture surrounded by a "cocoon" of dead spores. This increases the shelf life and is why ADY has to be hydrated in water before use. Instant yeast is freeze-dried; live cultures are coated with ascorbic acid. No dead cultures and you don't need water to hydrate. Rapid-Rise yeast is a different strain. You get speed but it comes at a cost in flavor. It produces more CO2 and doesn't release the alcohol and water soluble elements in the flour as well as slower yeasts. It also produces a coarser crumb. A lot of home bakers use too much yeast. This can cause off-flavors and an alcohol aftertaste. Carol

Rusty--Oatmeal Bread Recipe
Q
Comments (13)
Resurrecting this old thread because I was sorting through my print-out recipes a couple of days ago, filing the one's that I had tried and sorting the untried ones. For some reason, I had failed to annotate Rusty's recipe so, thinking it was untried, I made it again. Those loaves are gone so I made it again today. I mixed the two loaf version in the bread machine and removed to rise, shape loaves, rise & bake again... Using quick-cooking oats (cuz' that's what I had & they need to be used up)--1 c. oats in 2 cups boiling water--I didn't need to add any addt'l. water at all. Dry yeast into the breadmaker...total amount of water for the recipe was 2 cups. Of course, weather conditions, your flour, etc. & YMMV. If you're using whole, old-fashioned oats, you may need the additional hydration.

Made my own oatmeal bread!

Thanks guys! Grainlady - you are just a font of information!! I keep copying and pasting your little "gems" into a separate document that I then keep in front of the "breads" section of my three ring binder where I keep all the recipes I collect - keep them coming! Unfortunately, the bread's already long eaten so I don't have any pics! Sorry - I'll remember to take some next time! I just made two free form round loaves. Off the top of my head, the recipe I used called for 1 1/2 cups oatmeal and 3 cups of all purpose flour. I simply used 1 1/2 cups oat flour instead of the oatmeal. So there was 4 1/2 cups total flour. I used 1/2 cup honey because of the other recipe calling for 1/2 cup maple syrup. It was my first time making it and since I wasn't following the recipe exactly I figured I'd just do it and see what the results where. It made two small to medium loaves of bread. It seemed to rise fine - I'm no expert bread maker by any means, but it did double in size for the first rise, then I halved it and made the two loaves and let them rise again. I read the Pig's label and theirs had oats, flour, yeast, and cider and I think that was about it. The recipe I used had the two flours, the yeast of course, milk, butter, and the honey. I'm one that likes "heavy" bread tho. I'm after a hearty, dense bread. I like lots of fiber and whole bits of seed and groats and things in my bread. Chewey center and crusty outsides. I've gone to the When Pig's Fly store a couple of times myself when we take a trip up to Kittery. The 7 grain one is my favorite, but I also like the oat & honey. I love their apple, chocolate, orange pistachio cranberry, the olive and red pepper - hell, I love every one I've ever tried! I try to not eat too much bread because I'm trying to watch my weight and I could easily sit down and polish off a loaf of good bread all by myself and be perfectly happy. But I do have the "taste" for it now so I do plan on making some now and then. I'll try to keep it to a couple times a month so I can fit in my clothes tho!! Lisa

Oatmeal Bread Question
Q
Comments (3)
Non-gluten and low-gluten additions such as oats/oat flour tend to make bread more crumbly - that's just a natural characteristic. Following Linda C's advise and adding vital wheat gluten could improve the loaf, but too much vital wheat gluten will make the loaf dry and tough. I'm not a fan of vital wheat gluten UNLESS you are using an unusually large percentage of low-gluten or non-gluten flour. You don't say what your proportions are nor what type of other flour you are using. If you are using all-purpose flour, try switching to high-gluten bread flour and see if you get different results before adding vital wheat gluten. There are other things that contribute to bread that crumbles, including: - Over fermentation (allowing the dough to rise too long). This may be possible because allowing a dough that has a high percentage of low- or non-gluten flour probably doesn't have the extensibility to proof to "double". I'd keep it under "double" for both the first fermentation and the final proofing before it goes into he oven. Use a dough rising bucket, rather than a slant-sided bowl, so you don't have to guess if dough has doubled or not. - Rising conditions that are too warm. This often happens from using the pre-heated oven method and proofing dough in the oven (and failing to check the ACTUAL oven temperature before parking the dough in the oven), or the boiling water in the microwave method (also at risk for a much higher temperature for rising dough if you don't check the temperature with an oven thermometer). - Adding too much flour. If you tend to add a lot of additional flour during kneading and get a stiff dough, too much flour to liquid ration, this can also contribute to bread that's crumbly. As an aside... I'm assuming you are thoroughly cooling your loaf on a wire rack before cutting the loaf. If you cut into a warm loaf, you'll compromise the crumb. -Grainlady

I made this the other day. It doesn't have oatmeal but I'd sub the oatmeal for part of the flour and walnuts in the crumb topping.

Banana Walnut Coffee Cake

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons softened butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Cake

1 cup flour
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed banana (about 3 small)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 chopped walnuts

Directions

Mix dry ingredients with fork in large bowl.

Mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Add to dry ingredients, mix just until blended. Stir in walnuts.

This is my "go to" banana bread and I usually get compliments on it due to the maple flavor-yum!

Banana Oat Bread
9x5 inch loaf pan, greased
350 degrees for 45-50 min. (usually 50)

1 1/4 cups unsifted flour (can use some whole wheat pastry flour if you want)
3/4 cup quick oats (I use the "old fashioned" kind)
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar (I use 1/3 cup)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs beaten
1 cup mashed bananas (2 large or 3 small)
1/2 cup maple syrup
3 TBLSP veg. oil (I use canola)

Mash banana and stir together with eggs, oil, sugar and syrup. Mix dry ing. Add to wet ing. Mix well.

Turn into greased loaf pan. Bake until wooden pick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.

Cool 10 min. before cutting.
