Ingredients

Makes 1 loaf with 14 slices

• 150ml oats
• 250ml oat bran
• 375ml flour, sifted
• 125ml soy flour
• 125ml wheat bran
• 5ml salt (1 teaspoon)
• 20ml baking powder (4 teaspoons)
• 20ml sugar (4 teaspoons)
• 1 egg
• 200ml low fat milk
• 200ml water

Method

1. In a large bowl, mix the oats, oat bran, flour, soy flour, wheat bran, baking powder, salt and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, milk and water together for no more than 1 minute.
3. Combine the egg mixture with the flour mixture and stir until the dry ingredients are moistened - be careful not to over mix.
4. Work the dough into a soft ball with your hands, using more oats to prevent it from sticking.
5. 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).
6. 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.
