Honey Oat Bread (GF)

(1 loaf)

 

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups Warm Water (105-115 degrees)

2 tbsp. (scant) Active Dry Yeast

3 1/3 cups Oat Flour (see note)

¼ cup Olive Oil

¼ cup plus 2 tbsp. Honey

½ cup Corn Starch (or Tapioca Flour)

½ cup White Rice Flour

2 tsp. Zanthan Gum

1 tsp. Salt

¼ tsp. Ground Cinnamon

4 large Fresh Eggs

as needed Whole Oats

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine water and yeast and let rest 5-10 minutes.  Now add oat flour, oil, honey, corn starch, rice flour and xanthan gum.  Beat on medium speed with electric mixer until combined.  Next add salt, cinnamon and eggs continuing to beat until well combined and fluffy.  Pour dough into a greased 9x5 loaf pan, cover, place in a warm area and let rise for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.  Sprinkle loaf with some whole oats, make a few slits in top with serrated knife.  Place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until done.  Let loaf cool 5 minutes in pan and then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.  Don’t slice bread until fully cooled (very important).

Note:               If you want to use whole oats, blend them in a food processor until very fine (very important).  You will need about 4 cups to make the amount needed.
