Oat-Bran Bread
I was a novice at break making when a neighbor gave me this recipe 15 years ago. Now bread making is one of my favorite things to do. This recipe won a blue ribbon at the Clackamas County Fair in 1993.
Ingredients
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 4-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided

Reviews
I bake this bread almost weekly. We love the flavor and texture. Also often give a loaf to friends.
Excellent whole wheat bread. Light and fluffy crumb with a great taste. My husband hates whole wheat bread and couldn't leave this bread alone. Will definitely make this again.
