Oatmeal Sandwich Bread

Last week, we made our annual trek to Minneapolis so we could buy boatloads of school clothes for our boatloads of children.  It is always a painful reminder how expensive a big family can be but we try our best to make it a fun few days.  This year we took on Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America and our kids had a blast.  Especially our two year old, Jonathan.

He was in heaven when he got to meet his hero, Spongebob.  Yes, we wish he loved someone more two year old appropriate, but he is heavily influenced by two big brothers.

Swimming in the hotel pool for hours and hours everyday made for great naptimes!

He absolutely LOVED the rides and his siblings fought over their turn to take him.  They loved watching his reactions just as much as I did!

 

After three days of eating in restaurants, I was ready to get back home and into the kitchen.  While I do enjoy the break, the food starts to taste the same after the few couple of meals.  I made a new bread recipe and boy was I thrilled with the results.  It makes a delicious loaf, but it makes outstanding toast!!

 

 

Since it is a whole grain bread, I suggest using vital wheat gluten to enhance your results.  It helps your whole grain breads turn out light, moist and not crumbly.
If you like these bread as much as we do, be sure to check out this same dough as dinner rolls in this other post!  We love these rolls as much as the bread.
