Oat bread



For this bread, you have to start the day before you want to bake it. On that day, it only needs a few minutes. On the next day, it takes about 20 min to prepare and 45min to bake.

Ingredients:

  • 200g oat flakes
  • 400ml buttermilk
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 250-300g flour
Directions:
  1. Soak the oat flakes in the buttermilk. Leave in the fridge over night.
  2. The next morning, preheat the oven to 180°C. If you have a fan oven, do not preheat and use 160°C to bake later.
  3. Mix the baking powder, the salt and 250g of flour in a large bowl.
  4. Add the oat-flake-buttermilk mixture to the bowl. Knead until smooth.
  5. The dough should stop sticking to your hands after some kneading. If it doesn't, add more flour until it does.
  6. Form two loaves from the dough.
  7. Place them on a tray with baking paper and put it the oven (middle rack) for about 45min.
  8. Tap it with a wooden implement (e.g. a spoon) to see if it's done. It should sound hollow. You may have to bake it up to 10min more.

This bread is really tasty, even our cat likes it.
