No!!!

Yes, (evil laughter), another Mommy Blog (more evil laughter)!!! Life is a story, mine at the moment just happens to occur mostly at home, which means no sword fights or dragons, but plenty of peril, misadventure, and food. Like all good stories we will skip the boring parts (like laundry). So gird up your loins and let us commence with some real domestic adventures; don't forget your sense of humor.

No Knead Oatmeal Bread

I've wanted to try one of these 'no knead' recipes for awhile, I'm not sure what the results are supposed to be like, but it is something of a cross between a muffin and actual yeast bread, tasty but for all the putzing around, you might as well make a 'kneaded' bread!  I'll play with it some more and see what happens, maybe I'll turn it into a 'kneaded' recipe and throw it in the bread machine?

2 cups warm water
1 cup oatmeal
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sweet sourdough starter (amish or herman)
1 tsp instant yeast
2 eggs
4-5 cups flour

Combine everything but the flour until well mixed, gradually mix in the flour until a firm but sticky dough is achieved.  Cover and let sit 2 hours, then shape into loaves and place in a greased pan or place in a greased muffin tin for buns (I used an ice cream scoop to work with the dough), allow to rise until double and bake at 375 until brown and sounds hollow.

The texture is course and crumbly, but the flavor is nice, makes good toast.
