Oatmeal bread with some extras:

My usual mix is 2 cups of white flour for good leavening, 1 cup of
whole wheat for some bran and germ and 1 cup of rolled oats ground
into a coarse flour in the blender. The sweetener could be either
honey or light fancy molasses.

This time I added a very ripe, soft banana and cut back on the water
accordingly given the moisture content in the banana. I also added
in a tsp of cardamom and used Roger's golden syrup for the
sweetener. After the first rise I worked in walnuts and raisins after
I punched down the dough. The results were very pleasing; this is a
splendid bread for apple butter, crunchy peanut butter or jam, but
not cheeses and meats.

Roger's golden syrup is a Canadian product similar to English light
treacle. It has the pouring consistency of corn syrup but is darker
in colour and more flavourful while being thinner than molasses and
milder tasting.


Cheers

Jim


.... The steak was cheap and well done. I'm glad the knife was sharp.
