- 150ml oats (2/3 c)
- 250ml oat bran (1 c)
- 375ml flour, sifted (1 1/2 c)
- 125ml Soy flour
- 125ml Wheat bran
- 5ml salt (1 t)
- 20ml baking powder (4 t)
- 20ml sugar (4 t)
- 1 egg
- 200ml milk, low fat (3/4 c)
- 20ml water (4 t)
Method:
- In a large bowl, mix the oats, oat bran, flour, soy flour, wheat bran, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, milk and water together for no more than 1 minute.
- Combine the egg mixture with the flour mixture and stir until the dry ingredients are moistened - be careful not to over mix.
- Work the dough into a soft ball with your hands, using more oats to prevent it from sticking.
- Cover the ball with oats and form into a round loaf shape. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour at 180 °C (350 °F).
- To check if the loaf is done, tap the bread with your knuckle. If it sounds hollow, it is ready to take out of the oven.
