I loved this bread. Like stated in the description, it’s thick and dense like a skillet cornbread. I used a mix of rosemary, sage, and thyme. I just used regular whole wheat flour instead of the pastry type and it seemed to work just fine. No need for a stand mixer either.

Martha Rose Shulman

You use 2 tablespoons for the batter and 2 for the pan.

Why does this recipe suggest using a food processor or stand mixer? Why not use a mixing bowl, wooden spoon (or better, a Dutch whisk) and a bit of elbow grease?

David Look

Extra tablespoon should be added to batter. Omission has been corrected.

Delish. Use an 8-inch skillet over rather than the 10.25 (Lodge CI skillets come in 8 and 10.25, not 9). Didn't have an onion available so used minced scallion. Good, simple, flavorful quick bread.

I liked this a lot. I used my food processor, but might just use a bowl next time. The recipe worked great, and the only changes I would make would be to experiment with various herbs, maybe try cheese, or green chilies. I used scallions, because that's what I had. I'm sure onion would be good too. So far, I've had it for breakfast, with smoked salmon, a fried egg, goat cheese and salsa verde. It would be great with various soups or salads, or even with butter and jam.

I made this with fresh thyme and Italian parsley and it is a tasty, nuanced savory bread. Great, non-sweet breakfast bread, with butter on it and fresh fruit on the side (YUM!). This will pair nicely with dinner meats, and I think spreads like lingonberries, chutneys, and some soft cheeses could work well with it. The bread is crusty on the outside and moist on the inside.Next time I'll put a bit more onion in the batter, and experiment with other herbs.

People complaining about another NYT poorly proofed recipe might want to consider how they may or may not proofread recipes. For, if the recipe is not clear, one simply need not make it and can ask nicely for clarification. There is no need to be cruel in your comments. Martha Rose Shulman knows how to turn breads and beans. I’ve made so many scrumptious meals with her recipes.. As one who craves beans and breads, I’m so grateful to her for her research, time and diligence.

Ellen

How can a recipe be the same if you either use a stand mixer or food processir with a blade? The blade will chop up the rolled oats while a stand mixer will leave them intact, giving a completely different texture. What have others used? Looks in the picture like the fough has been blitzed in a food processor.

Candace Hyde

I used buttermilk in this, soaked the oats in it for a few minutes and stirred it up in a bowl. It was terrific except that I put in way too much sage. I think next time I will go towards parsley, green onion and maybe a little cheese. A great basic recipe.

BB

Bill loved this! Reduce salt.

ZGB

Double this recipe if you are cooking for 4 people!

Donna

I routinely make this with no cheese or onion since I have IBS. I use part oat flour, part quinoa flour, and part gluten free measure for measure flour. It turns out great every time and the quinoa flour gives it a nutty flavor.

Emily

8” works fineReally good

Laci

I really liked this with some fresh sage and dried thyme. I also added in some of my sourdough mother and let it sit overnight. Cooked it in a small loaf pan and it's been a great breakfast treat. Oh, I also didn't breakdown the oats first, I'm too lazy for that. Eat with lots of butter!!

What an odd recipe. I made it exactly as written and it came out thin, dense and quite unpalatable. My oven temperature is accurate and this was overdone, verging on burned at 25 minutes.

I sauteed the onion first before adding. This was okay, it was certainly easy to make. I might make it again.

FAQs

Will oat flour rise with yeast? ›

Oat flour does not rise as much as wheat flour because it is gluten-free, but there are ways you can get around this by increasing the yeast or using another additive.

Is oatmeal bread healthier than white bread? ›

The trick is to pick the right carbohydrate sources, including those that are the most filling and provide significant amounts of essential nutrients without containing a lot of calories per serving. Both oatmeal and whole-wheat bread are better options than white bread for weight and fat loss.

Can you bake with oatmeal instead of flour? ›

Oats are low in fat, and are sodium free, cholesterol free and preservative free. When baking, you may substitute oats for up to one-third the amount of flour called for in the recipe using either Quick or Old Fashioned Oats. Instant Oatmeal is cut too fine, and is not recommended for baking.

How do you get oats to stick to the top of bread? ›

Make egg wash and gently brush some over the top of each loaf. Sprinkle a small handful of dry oats on top. Second rise: Cover with a well greased piece of plastic wrap gently laid on top and let rise in a warm place until risen about 1 inch over the loaf pans, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Carefully peel off the plastic wrap.

What happens if you use oat flour instead of all-purpose flour? ›

Compared to all-purpose flour, oat flour is higher in fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc. Not only does it have more nutrients, but oat flour has a lower glycemic index than all-purpose flour. The glycemic index is a measure of how quickly a food raises blood sugar levels.

Do you need more baking powder with oat flour? ›

When making recipes that require baking powder, add 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder per cup of oat flour. If you are using buttermilk in your recipe, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of buttermilk or any acid. This will neutralize the acid in the recipe and allow the baking powder to work more effectively.

What is the best bread for anti inflammatory diet? ›

The best bread to reduce gut inflammation is bread made from whole grains. Refined grains, such as the grains found in white bread and white pasta, are known to increase inflammation across the whole body. Sourdough bread and rye bread are both good options for an anti-inflammatory diet.

Why can oats not be used in baking bread? ›

In bread making processes, oats behave in a distinctly different way to wheat. Oat proteins do not form similar gluten networks to wheat and thus the wheat bread making process cannot be used as such for oats. However, around 10% of wheat flour can easily be replaced with oat flakes.

What happens if you add baking powder to oatmeal? ›

Baking powder– to help the oats rise in the oven. Salt– a little salt for flavor.

Can I use old-fashioned oats instead of rolled oats for baking? ›

Rolled oats are another term for old-fashioned oats, so if you see that in a recipe, you're good to go! They are sometimes also called whole oats. Learn more about the different types of oats.

Why sprinkle flour on bread before baking? ›

You can dust the top of rolls or loaves (white or whole wheat) with white flour for a more rustic or “peasant” style appearance. Using flour is also a wonderful way to keep your bread (especially buns and rolls) vegan but still decorate the top.

Why is my oatmeal bread not rising? ›

If dough does not rise because of inactive yeast, dissolve another good package or cake of yeast in 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Add this mixture slowly to the dough, kneading it in well. Return dough to greased bowl; cover, set it in a warm place and the dough should rise.

When to put sesame seeds on bread? ›

Brush the loaf with the beaten egg white, then cover the braid and let it rise for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it's quite puffy. While the bread is rising, preheat the oven to 400°F. Immediately before you put the loaf in the oven, brush it again with the egg white and sprinkle the sesame seeds or flax seeds on.

How to get oat flour to rise? ›

To help recipes made with oat flour rise properly, you need to use some form of leavener - typically baking powder or baking soda. Using eggs will also help with both binding and leavening in the absence of gluten.

Which flours rise with yeast? ›

For best results, base your yeast dough on wheat flour — only wheat-based flour provides the type and amount of protein yeast dough needs to support its structure. Whole wheat flour, white whole wheat flour, bread flour, or all-purpose flour are all good choices.

Does non gluten flour rise with yeast? ›

Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour for yeast baking

Bottom line: When following a recipe that calls for yeast and an added stabilizer, choose Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour to make high-rising, tender final products.

Is oat flour good for baking bread? ›

Oat flour is useful even for traditional baking. Try using it for kneading whole-wheat bread. It keeps the dough from sticking but, unlike regular flour, won't toughen the dough if you incorporate too much.
