So, I decided to give this 100% oat flour bread a shot. I’ve been seeing these recipes floating around, and honestly, I was pretty skeptical. Can you really make decent bread with just oat flour? But hey, I’m all for experimenting in the kitchen, so why not?
First off, I gathered my ingredients. It’s a ridiculously short list, which was a plus. We’re talking oat flour—which, by the way, I just made by blitzing some rolled oats in my food processor. Way cheaper than buying pre-made oat flour! Then there’s water, a bit of butter, and some honey. Oh, and a little dry milk. Seriously, that’s it.
Getting Started
I dumped the water, butter, and honey into my bread machine. Then, I sprinkled in the dry milk and all that oat flour. I set my bread machine to the basic white bread setting. Fingers crossed, I pressed start and walked away.
The Waiting Game
- The whole process took about three hours, give or take.
- I kept peeking through the little window on the top of the machine, watching it do its thing.
- It smelled pretty good while it was baking, kind of nutty and sweet.
The Moment of Truth
When the timer finally went off, I carefully took the bread out and let it cool on a wire rack. It looked like, well, bread! It had a nice golden-brown crust and a surprisingly fluffy texture when I sliced into it. And the taste? Honestly, not bad at all! It’s definitely denser than regular white bread, but it has a nice, slightly sweet flavor from the honey. It toasted up really well, too.
My Verdict
This 100% oat flour bread is a winner in my book. It’s easy, it’s cheap, and it’s a great option if you’re looking for a gluten-free or just a different kind of bread. I’ll definitely be making this one again.
