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.

Made this a ‘sweet’ bread by leaving out onions and herbs, and adding 2 packed tablespoons of brown sugar. Didn’t rise like the picture but was delicious with a little butter and honey for our weekend tea time. Was cooked in 25 min. Will definitely make again when looking for a healthy and delicious quick option.

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.

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

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? ›

This can make getting the right ratio of solids to liquids tricky. 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.

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.

Is oat flour good for baking bread? ›

Oat flour and wheat flour can be used for breads, cookies, cakes and many other baked goods. There are some important differences that you should be aware of when converting wheat flour recipes to oat flour ones. Many people are attracted to oat flour for their baking because it's gluten-free, unlike wheat flour.

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

However regarding substituting a recipe that calls for all wheat flour– it depends on what you're baking and the recipe. Like mentioned above, denser baked goods tend to do better with all oat flour versus baked goods with a fluffy crumb like cakes.

Do you need more baking powder with oat flour? ›

A: You generally don't want to fuss with leavening agents (adding more baking soda or baking powder won't necessarily mean it will rise more). Oat flour is great but can be very tricky. It's very easy to over-stir which makes it dense or gummy (or both!) Check out my baking post for tips on perfect baking.

Why is oats unsuitable for bread making? ›

Oats and oat products are used in a wide range of bread and bakery products. However, because oats contain β-glucan and little or no gluten, it is a technological challenge to produce bread with an acceptable volume and texture quality using high levels of oats (Oomah, 1983).

Why is my oatmeal bread not rising? ›

It is possible the dough was not kneaded long enough. It takes time for gluten to develop fully. Bread dough should be kneaded 4 to 10 minutes. When you have kneaded the dough enough, it will be smooth and elastic, and tacky rather than sticky.

Do you have to soak oats before baking? ›

Soaking not only softens the oats, but it also makes them more tender, quicker to cook, and easier to digest. In a side-by-side comparison, we found that unsoaked oats lacked that fluffy, creamy texture soaked oats provide. So, from here on out, we'll be soaking. Once they're soaked, it's time to cook.

What is the healthiest flour for homemade bread? ›

The healthiest bread flour is 100% whole grain flour. Whole grain flour could be rye, barley, spelt, oat, or wheat flour - the key is that the flour is made from 100% whole grains. Whole grain breads provide essential nutrients that are lacking in bread made from white flour.

Why is my oat bread dense? ›

Make sure the shaped bread doesn't rise too long before baking – it should only double in size. If it rises too much, the dough will collapse on itself during baking and the bread will have a dense, coarse or dry texture.

What is the healthiest flour to bake with? ›

Thus, whole wheat flour is widely considered healthier. It's a good source of protein, fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. As it contains gluten, it isn't appropriate for people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

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.

Can I ferment oat flour? ›

Oat grains were mixed with a certain ratio of water 1:3 w/v (oat:water, yogurt consistency) and 1:5 w/v (oat:water, drink consistency), and this mixture was fermented with yogurt culture and probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum and fermented drinks and yogurt were produced.
