Oatmeal bread

There are many recipes for oatmeal bread, but the basic ingredients are always the same: oats, flour, yeast, water, and salt. The ratio of these ingredients can vary, but the most common ratio is 1 part oats to 2 parts flour.

Oats have been used in bread recipes for centuries. The first recorded recipe for oatmeal bread comes from Scotland in the early 1800s. This bread was made with coarsely ground oats, water, salt, and yeast. It was typically baked in a large, round loaf and had a dense, chewy texture.

Over the years, the recipe for oatmeal bread has been adapted to suit different preferences. Some recipes call for the addition of milk or honey to make the bread more moist, while others call for using only oat flour for a gluten-free option. There are also variations that include raisins, nuts, or seeds for added flavor and texture.
