Katie recently posted a recipe for oatmeal bread that I found
interesting. No mention of kneading though, is this right? I don't
usually "hand-make" breads for various reasons, time being the primary
one, but I thought I might manage this one, if the recipe is right.
Katie, can you confirm that I don't have to knead the dough? Many
thanks,
Catherine
BTW: Some time ago I tried to post a response to two questions that
came up, but they didn't make it thru. For the record, here's my stuff:
Re: Using oil instead of butter/margarine: I do it all the time,
because it's easier to measure. To my knowledge and experience, it
doesn't adversely affect the recipe. As a rule, I use canola, which has
the "good" cholesterol and no flavour. Olive oil is great for pizza
dough.
Re: Holes in bread on purpose: Substitute a bit of cornflour for the
regular flour, it gives the bread a nice open texture without being
overly coarse.
Cheers,
C.
