Mmmm...best, easy oatmeal bread recipe. It captures the...oatmealness of oatmeal by having you add actual cooked oatmeal rather than dry oats. The result is a dense, hearty texture. Delicious with butter and honey, and makes excellent toast, too. Actually, everything I've made from this book has been great, but that's one of my all-time favorite recipes.
I love this book! The explanations are clear, accessible, and well-written, which I've found hard to come by in a baking book thus far. The Maryland Brownies are the bomb diggity. Yes.
So my L.A. BFF is the actual OWNER of this book, but she bought it at a little junk shop we visited here in Arkansas. It's too hot to bake anything in L.A. so she left the book here with me when she went home. I bought some yeast but haven't tried to make anything yet. lol
