Super simple no knead porridge bread

[Acott]

Hey, I'm not sure if this has been posted before.

Here's a simple bread that anyone can make, it's also delicious.

Ingredients :

Porridge Oats
500ml Natural yogurt
2 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda

How to:

Add the natural yogurt to a large mixing bowl (rinse and dry the yogurt pot), to this add the 2 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda, mix until the yogurt becomes fluffy. Using the yogurt pot as a measuring jug, fill it twice with oats and add them to the bowl. Mix the oats and yogurt together until you have a consistency like below.



Butter the sides of a loaf tin and add the mixture, don't compress it too much



Place in the oven for 60 minutes at 180° rotate at 30 minutes.
Once out of the oven place on a rack to cool



Enjoy

Add seeds and nuts or dried fruit to make it even better

How much porridge oats?

Yeah we do a sweet version with dried fruit, it's lovely 

How much porridge oats?

I've never actually weighed it out, you just take the empty yogurt pot and fill it twice evenly with oats. If you have a bag of Kavanaghs oats from Aldi this will normally make 2 loaves with some oats left over

So this is a simple variant of a soda bread then? You could do lots of variants of it then, dried fruit and seeds as others have mentioned.

Is that 180 in a fan assisted oven?

Hey Shanna,

In the past I've made this bread in both a conventional oven and a fan assisted oven. I had the temp at 180 on both but in the fan assisted oven I needed to place parchment paper over the loaf in the last 15 - 20 mins to stop it from burning the top. So perhaps lowering to 170 / 160 might do the trick

I used 180 in a fan assisted & it came out ok. Really moist but also a bit on the heavy side. I used jumbo oats so that might explain it. I got the impression that the bread barely rose at all. Will try it again soon with regular oats.

Note that the same trick could be used with the oats replaced with spent grains or a blend of other flours.

You may be able to make gluten free bread this way also

It doesn't really rise and is quite dense but it's beautiful toasted and covered in butter.

Thanks Acott

Tried it and its top notch.  Did it with 3 tablespoons of treacle and a fist of seeds too and its not bad.

I never lasts long in the house

Delighted to hear! It's so easy to make that we've stopped buying bread altogether

I cut a slice 2.5 mm thick but the knife was a bit blunt. Is that a record. Must get thick cut marmalade tomorrow
