I am on a domestic diva kick. Mr. Sunflowers has been watching Alton Brown's Good Eats ever since we found it for free on
Amazon Prime
. Our list of "to try" recipes has grown tremendously.
Last week we watched an episode in which he made oat bread (
Oat Cuisine II
). We have been eating whole wheat/whole grain breads for some time now and love it. So we decided to give this recipe a try. To be honest I was a bit scared of it. I have no luck with yeast breads, especially if it requires two rise sessions. My first successful attempt was the
pretzel bites and that was only a single rise. Still, I hit the store and began the process.
After mixing and
10 minutes of
hand kneading this is what I set aside to rise:
After punching it down, placing it in the pan in the fridge for its 8-15 hour second rise and then baking, this is what we had to eat:
and it was YUMMY! I am currently waiting for my second batch to rise. I think our days of buying bread at the store are done! If you want to give it a try you can find the recipe on Food Network
here.
Until next time,
