SWEET OATMEAL BREAD (ABM, BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Use the least amount of liquid listed in the recipe!
• Place all ingredients in bread pan, in the order recommended by your brand of machine.
• Select Basic/Standard and Light Crust settings; Press Start.
• Observe the dough as it kneads; After 5 to 10 minutes, if it appears dry and stiff or if your machine sounds as if it's straining to knead it, add more liquid 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough forms a smooth, soft, pliable ball that is slightly tacky to the touch.
• After baking, remove from pan and cool for one hour before slicing; great toasted!

MOLASSES, SULTANA AND OATMEAL BREAD (ABM / BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Weigh the main ingredients into the bread machine drum in the order listed.
• The ginger is optional and to taste (I love ginger so I'm a bit generous with it) but if leaving it out then it's probably best to leave the ground cloves out too.
• Into a small bowl weigh approx 100g sultanas and mix in a teaspoon of ground ginger to coat the sultanas well (if using ginger).
• Start machine on 'speciality' or 'raisin bread' cycle with normal crust setting.
• At about 5 minutes before the end of the second kneading or at the beep (if you trust your machine not to mash up the sultanas - mine is lethal to them so I ignore the beep and wait until only a few minutes remain of the second kneading) add the sultanas mixed together with the ground ginger.
• Measurements: I find blackstrap molasses is almost impossible to measure using a spoon as it's so incredibly thick and gooey and most of it stays on the spoon so I just pour it out of the jar - which can make for some rather hit and miss measurements. Taste-wise, I liked the strength of flavour best when I suceeded in pouring in 62g of molasses and used 103g of sultanas.
• Basically I think of this as cake without the all the fat and the calories :).
• Bakes a good-sized 1 1/2 Lb Loaf.
• Addition, tried December 2005 --
• I remebered that I had some crystallized ginger (a.k.a. candied ginger) in the cupboard and added 32g chopped up to about the size of the sultanas which I mixed with the fruit and ground ginger for adding at the beep. The quantity was probably a bit excessive and it does make the loaf a bit trickier to slice as ginger can be quite 'tough', but an idea to bear in mind if you have some in the cupboard and fancy it :).

OATMEAL MOLASSES BREAD

Steps:

• Grease loaf pan (8 1/2" or 9"). Mix boiling water, oats, butter, molasses, and salt in a large bowl; cool to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add yeast mixture, egg, and 1 1/2 cups flour to the oat mixture. Beat for 2 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl frequently. Stir in remaining flour until completely mixed.
• Spread batter evenly in pan (batter will be sticky - smooth and pat into shape with floured hands). Cover and let rise in warm place about 1 1/2 hours or until batter is 1 inch from top of 9-inch pan or reaches top of 8 1/2-inch pan.
• Heat oven to 375-degrees. Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until loaf is brown and sounds hollow when tapped. (If loaf browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil during last 15 minutes of baking.) Remove from pan to wire rack; cool. For a soft, shiny crust, brush top with butter if desired.
