Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a blender or food processor, add the oats, and pulse a few seconds. We want coarse crumbs, but not powder, so don’t overdo!
  2. Add the hot water to the oats, and mix. Let them stand until they cool to lukewarm.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, add the yeast and warm water – let sit for a few minutes, then add the maple syrup, oil and salt.
  4. Add the warm oats and the flour, then mix to a soft dough (adding more flour if necessary).
  5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and pliable – about 10 minutes
  6. Form dough into a ball.
  7. Grease a bowl, and add the dough to the bowl and cover.
  8. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
  9. Punch down, then shape into a smooth round loaf.
  10. Place loaf in a cast iron skillet, cover with a clean towel – and leave somewhere warm until the loaf doubles in size, about 45 minutes.
  11. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  12. Brush loaf with beaten egg, and sprinkle with the oats.
  13. Bake for 30 minutes.
