Steel Cut Oat Soda Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the steel cut oats; cook and stir until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, toasted steel cut oats, dry milk, sugar, gluten, salt, flax seeds, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Add 5 cups water, oil, and vinegar. Mix on low until all ingredients are moistened. Increase speed to medium-high; mix until gluten is developed and dough is elastic, about 5 minutes.
• Turn dough into a clean, oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, 1 to 2 hours.
• Stretch and fold dough 4 to 6 times. Place back in bowl, cover, and refrigerate 16 to 18 hours.
• Remove from the refrigerator 2 to 4 hours before baking. Turn out onto a well-floured surface; sprinkle top of dough with flour. Halve the dough; flatten each half. Fold in all 4 sides like an envelope; press edges together into the dough. Shape each piece into a loaf with the smooth side on top. Place in 2 loaf pans; cover with a non-terry towel. Let rise until dough just crests above the top of the pan, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Place a pan of water on the lower rack to produce steam for the bread.
• Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Coat tops of loaves with the egg wash.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes. Remove the pan of water carefully; cover loaves with aluminum foil tents. Continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a loaf reads 200 to 205 degrees F (93 to 96 degrees C), 45 to 60 minutes more.
• Remove loaves from pans and cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan and set aside.
• Soak steel cut oats and buttermilk in a small bowl for at least 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients; flours, flaxseed meal, salt, baking soda and sugar.
• In a large bowl, combine the oil, eggs, orange juice, buttermilk with steel cut oats and cranberries. Stir until combined.
• Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well. Pour into the pan and bake 45-50 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch bread pan.
• In a large bowl, mix together flours, steel-cut oats, rolled oats, brown sugar, salt and sifted baking soda. Mix well with your hands.
• Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Pour in buttermilk. Working from the center of the bowl in concentric clockwise circles, with fingers outstretched, stir buttermilk into flour mixture. (You can use a rubber spatula instead if you don't like getting dough on your hands.) This should take about a half a minute at most. Dough will be quite moist. Use a rubber spatula to scrape into bread pan and smooth out the dough to fill pan evenly ( the pan will be filled only about halfway.)
• Place in the oven and bake 40 minutes, until dark brown and a tester inserted comes out clean. Remove from pan and cool on a rack.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and grease a baking sheet. Put the flours, oats, bicarb and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl and stir to combine. Tip the yogurt into a jug, add enough water to make it up to 400ml and mix well. Stir the treacle and honey into the yogurt mixture until they dissolve. Pour onto the dry ingredients and stir with a round-bladed knife until you have a soft, sticky dough.
• Tip onto a lightly floured surface and lightly form the dough into a round. Lift onto the baking sheet, cut a deep cross in the dough and sprinkle with oats. Bake for 30 mins or until the crust is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath. Soda bread should be eaten the same day, or toasted the next.

Steps:

• Measure oats, molasses, butter and salt into a mixing bowl.
• Pour boiling water over these ingredients. Stir in 2 cups flour. Cool.
• While this mixture is cooling mix dry yeast with 1/4 cup warm water.
• After flour mixture is cool add yeast mixture and stir in 2 cups flour. Add nuts if desired. Knead mixture until smooth and let rise in a covered greased mixing bowl. When mixture is doubled punch down and form into loaf.
• Preheat oven to 375 Place dough in a 5" x 9" greased loaf pan. Let rise until doubled. Bake bread 40 - 50 minutes or until brown.
