Instant Oat Bread

I was given a sample pack of instant oat, just nice to make 1 portion. In the family, we don't really crave for blanching an instant oatmeal. How do you fare?

Surprisingly, when it is put to good use in the Bread Machine, it churns a very good loaf of soft bread. Try this.

Instant Oat Bread (500g loaf size)

Ingredients:

Cooked Oat:

20g       Instant Oat

100g     Hot water

Main ingredients:

120g      Cooked oat

75g        Water

15g        Caster sugar

2.5g       Salt (1/2 tsp)

250g      Bread Flour

25g        Unsalted Butter

2g          Instant dry yeast (1/2 tsp)

As you can see here, it is a Free Sample that I have gotten from my other purchases from NTUC Stores.

Method:

Step 1: First, Blanch the Instant Oat with Hot Water to yield 120g of Cooked Oat. Let the Cooked Oat rest at room temperature to cool.

Step 2: Pour in the Cooked Oat into Bread Pan, follow by water, then sugar and salt on each opposite sides of the Pan.

Step 3: Add on Unsalted Butter as part of liquid ingredients stated in my Bread Machine's User Manual. So remember to check yours.

Step 4: Pour Bread Flour into bread pan, covering all the liquid ingredients and dig a small hole for the Yeast.

Step 5: Pour in the Yeast.

Step 6: Transfer the Bread Pan back into the Bread Machine and Locked it as per the direction of your machine.

Step 7: While it is mixing and blending to form dough, you may peep to check the Bread Machine.

Step 8: There are always 2 stages of proofing of the bread dough. Notice a slightly bigger size after the second proof? No more peeping after second proofing as the Bread Machine will run on baking.

Finally you will have a nice soft loaf of Instant Oat Bread. Savor your achievement and enjoy! Again, Remember to cool the loaf for at least 30 minutes before cutting the bread for otherwise, the Bread will turn wet. I would usually leave to cool for 1 hour on a safe side.

p/s: After trying this Instant Oat Bread, I started to like instant oat. Cheers!
