Maple Oatmeal Bread
We tried this one this week. It was very good, and made incredible toast.
Maple Oatmeal Bread
Makes 2 loaves
2 1/2 cups boiling water
1 cup rolled oats
1 package dry yeast
3/4 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon oil
5 cups flour
Put the oats into a bowl. Pour the boiling water over the oats and set aside for an hour.
Mix the yeast, syrup, salt, and oil into the oats. Mix in 3 cups of the flour. Cover the bowl and let rise for an hour.
Add more flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is the correct consistency. Knead for 10 minutes. Cut the dough into two pieces, then shape it into loaves and place in greased loaf pans. Cover and let rise another 45 minutes.
Bake at 350 for 40 - 50 minutes.
This recipe originates in Bernard Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads.
We need to make this bread more often. Every time we make it we almost always have it disappear before a photo can be taken.
Here's a slice of the two loaves that didn't even last a single day from earlier this week. Yum!!
Hey, nice looking bread!
How did the maple taste come through, using the syrup and the beer?
I just tasted the Kitsilano Maple Cream Ale not too long ago. It was g-o-o-d!

Yes, you could definitely taste the maple in the bread. Both the evening it came out of the oven and the next morning, everyone ate it with a little butter because it had so much maple flavour.
I changed the process a little bit this time, using more of a traditional straight dough w/ stretch and fold approach, but I kept the ingredients the same as posted above.
We didn't actually use any of the beer in the bread, it was just the maple-y accompaniment. :)
