Different Breads

Post by halfateabag »

I know a lot of you are bread bakers and was not sure where to post this... So, have any of you used oats that have been blended/zapped in a liquidiser for bread making.

I found this recipe (I have a lot of oats) and want to try making a loaf in a few days time. https://www.mamagourmand.com/oat-flour-bread/

Or any other versions of oat bread you can recommend.

I'm not entirely convinced by the loaf, but I have zapped rolled oats to make fine oatmeal and it has work well, though I have now bought some Mornflake Fine Oatmeal now

I make Staffordshire (or Derbyshire, depending on allegiance) oatcakes with them, simpler than the loaf and they make a nice "flatbread" for various kinds of wraps or with a fry-up

I make them in an 8 inch pan, smaller than standard, that conveniently requires a 1/4 cup measure of batter, I make a half quantity of batter, cooked on a very heat

I haven't made yeasted bread but have used blitzed oats for a corn bread recipe. I have also bought loaves which contain part oat flour.

My findings from both are that they make a much softer bread than wheat or corn, it can be claggy if you're not careful. I would use a mix of wheat and oat and be very careful not to add too much liquid.

Sue's suggestion looks good.

When I have made bread called "Monastery Bread", from a recipe in a book I was given many years ago, it uses rolled oats. But the oats are added after the first prove and the knock back. That way the oats dont get too broken and can be "found" when eating.

My husband loves this JO recipe. I make several bags of the dry ingredients up at a time, so I just need to add the egg and milk. I use jumbo oats because that’s what I have in, but I think ordinary ones may be better.

Hi Bakers, thanks for all your input :thumbsup

Found this in one of the many e-mails that IKEA send me. I think it is a sort of bread but mainly for brekkie. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/rooms/kitche ... b8beddfe0/
