SCOTTISH OATMEAL BREAD 
 
Sister Eva D. Whitt Snowflake 9th Ward

1 3/4 CUPS WARM WATER OR MILK

1 PKG. ACTIVE DRY YEAST (2 TABLESPOONS DRY YEAST)

1/3 CUP MOLASSES OR BROWN SUGAR

3 TABLESPOONS VEGETABLE OIL, SHORTENING OR BUTTER

1 EGG, BEATEN

1 1/2 teaspoon SALT

2 CUPS OATMEAL (REGULAR OR QUICK-COOKING)

31/2 - 4 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE OR WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR


1. Pour water or milk into large mixing bowl. Sprinkle in yeast. Add molasses or brown sugar and oil. Let mixture sit unto

yeast begins 'to grow' - about 5 minutes.

2. Mix in the beaten egg, 2 cups flour and the oatmeal. Mix well. ( I like to use a wooden spoon.)

3. Gradually add the rest of the flour, mixing to form a stiff dough.

4. Scrap dough out of bowl, onto a lightly floured bread board. Mix and knead with your hands until a smooth ball is formed - at least four or five minutes. (Kneading improves texture of finished loaves.)

5. Place dough back in the oiled mixing bowl. Cover with lid or a clean dish cloth. Place bowl of dough in a warm, draft-free place for at least an hour.

6. Punch down dough in bowl . Shape into two round loaves (or use loaf pans) Butter the top of the unbaked loaves and roll top of loaf in

raw oatmeal sprinkled on bread board. (Makes a nice decoration.) Bake two round loaves on a 9 x 13 baking sheet.

7. Place shaped loaves in a warm place. Let rise for 30-40 minutes.

8. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and put loaves on the middle rack to bake.

9. Bake 30 - 35 minutes - until nicely brown.

10. Remove from baking sheet or pans to cool - before slicing.

Remover Whips, cover and let sit for Min.
Insert Kneading arm in mixer and mix adding 3 C. Kamut and 3 C. Spelt Flour.
Knead for 10 Min. (dough may be a little sticky)
Remove dough and place in large greased bowl- - let rise until doubled.
Punch down and divided into 4 equal portions- roll out each portion to remove air bubbles and then shape into loaves and place into 4 - 8 ½ x 2 ½ greased pans. Let rise until dough rounds about 1 inch above the pan then bake in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 30 minutes.
Ideas: May substitute the 2 Cups of Rye with Milled - Millet, Spelt, Oats, Barley, Quinoa, or combination of your choice of Grains. May need a little more Salt for some grains. Robin's Bread did not have the Gluten and had Quinoa, Millet and Barley.
