There are fewer things in life simpler than a loaf of bread. And yet, there is nothing simple about a good quality loaf, nothing as enticing, inviting or appetising, satisfying or as wholesome. There is even something almost spiritual about the process of combining essentially flour, water and yeast. The work. The waiting. The care. The coaxing. The minding. Good bread mimics life, and life, bread. I have often said that you could give me a crusty baguette, a soft ripe creamy cheese, and a glass, okay a bottle, of a gutsy but fruity red, and I am most certainly a happy man. “A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou.”
Therefore you can imagine my shock when I recently discovered a flour-less and yeast-less bread.A wheat free bread made entirely of porridge oats and low fat yoghurt (and a few other ingredients but we’ll get to that).However,not only is it fantastically simple but also really, really tasty. I would not be recommending it otherwise. I’m sure many of you have heard of it, I had, and indeed many of you may have tried it. However this is the best recipe I have tried and I urge you to try it out and see for yourself. There are also plenty of variations you can try with this which I will return to at a later date. I have my mind on a stout and a strong, sharp cheddar combination that I will report back on if it works. I also have a philosophy of making the best recipe possible. I also understand that some people are tight for time or indeed just don’t have the interest in spending their whole evening in the kitchen. So, to make an excellent bread follow the recipe below. To make it more special GO THE EXTRA MILE. Here it is:

Where has this recipe been all my life?!
It’s even tastier to roast the mixed seeds prior is adding them to the oats. I also tried a splash of Guinness in the mix yesterday! Interesting combo
Thanks Phil! And thanks for reintroducing it to me and reminding me of how could it is! Toasting the seeds would be great 🙂 Does interesting mean good? 🙂 I still have intentions of making a guinness and cheddar one but haven’t gotten around to it yet
I have been making this bread since you gave me the recipe and it is fab, the whole family like it and that in itself speaks volumes.x
