Course: Yeast Bread
Servings: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 ¾ cups boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 ¼ cups white whole wheat or sprouted whole-wheat flour
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax meal

Instructions

  • Mix oats, boiling water and maple syrup; set aside to cool.
  • In large bowl, mix the yeast, flours, salt and flax meal. Stir in the cooled oat mixture and stir into a stiff batter. Cover and let rise until doubled, around an hour and a half. Stir down and spoon into a greased 8 ½ x 5-inch loaf pan, spreading evenly. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover pan and let rise until batter is just above the pan rim. Bake for 45 minutes, until browned and edges are pulled away from the sides of the pan.
