Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Bread.

I've started to put oatmeal in my bread recipe and we love the extra goodness that it brings to the loaf!! The recipe before was

2 cups warm water
1/4 cup of sugar
1 tsp yeast
4 tbsp lard or butter
2 tsp salt.

Then let it proof and add

3 cups whole wheat flour
3 cups white flour.

Then I let my bread maker mix it up and rise it before taking it out to form into balls or bread and rise again before baking it at 350 F for 15 minutes for buns or 30 minutes for bread. The original recipe had a egg in it but I found the bread molded really fast and it was a lot softer faster. Mushy in about 24 hours.

Now I'm doing the same thing at first then adding 1 cup of oatmeal to the water ( softens it up so it blends better) and only adding 1 cup of white flour and 4 of whole wheat. We love it and it's much more filling and I'm not having to make bread or buns quite so often. The bread is WAY better this way as it makes a more compact loaf and doesn't fall apart so easily.
