oatbread from King's Landing
This is post 1 of at least 2 today. I decided to try one of the breads in the Feast of Ice & Fire book, so here it is: Oatbread (p125). Except that it's supposed to have all sorts of dried fruits and candied orange peel in it that DH and I don't care for in bread. Plus I didn't have them on hand anyway, so this is basically just oat bread.
I used 1 cup of oat flour with 1.5 cups of AP flour. The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, which seems like a lot to me. I hope this loaf doesn't turn out salty since I usually use only a teaspoon or maybe 1.5 teaspoons for the same amount of flour. I stuck everything in the bread machine on the dough setting without proofing the yeast like the directions said to, hoping the machine could handle the volume. My miniZo can take a maximum of 3 cups of flour, but I'm not sure if the grains count. I think they do. Anyway, the bucket was pretty full, and when I checked on it early, the dough was a wet mess. I added some flour, let it rise and baked as directed and it turned out really great.
The bread will be great for or with breakfast in the coming mornings. I'm glad I will have at least a little something for breakfast before work later this week.
I also made some taco seasoning and put it in one of the spice jars from Target that I save when I use up the spices. The mix is so pretty before mixing, and I adore the jar. I know, I'm weird.
