40loaves

Bread no. 21 : oatmeal sandwich bread by summer harms.

Adjustments : halved the recipe, used brown sugar instead of molasses & may have used a bit too much white flour because I was short whole wheat.

Notes : baked like a charm. Summer's recipe was perfect. I think mine might have turned out a bit softer than hers, (at least that's how it looks in the pictures) which might have been because of the extra white flour or the fact that I forgot about it and it had more rise time. The crust was amazing and had that satisfying "crunch" when I cut into it.

Review : Wow. This was the bread I've been looking for. Tasted great. It's the sort of bread Paul and I would fight over if it was in roll form at a restaurant. I'm going to keep trying wheat recipes (because I have 19 loaves to go) but this is a definite keeper.

    mmmm this looks so good! what kind of yeast did you use? i never know which kind to use when it doesn’t specify “instant” or “active dry” or whatever.

    If the recipe has you mix the yeast into the flour, you need instant yeast. If you proof the yeast in warm liquid, you want the active dry stuff. You can proof instant yeast but you don’t have to; the active dry yeast doesn’t rise well when mixed directly into flour.

    Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I’ve been on the hunt for a good wheat bread to use as my go-to easy sandwich recipe. I used my bread machine and dumped everything in then set for the 2lb loaf and it came out perfectly!
