Oat flour bread
Oat flour is simply whole oats ground to a powder, and it is even sometimes labeled “oatmeal flour.” It lends this bread the subtle taste of oatmeal, as well as a sturdy, chewy character. The loaf is crumbly when warm, and will cut more easily at room temperature. A piece of this bread and some fruit are a wonderful way to begin the day; for a special breakfast, I like this toasted and spread with apple source or pear preserves see recipe for pear ginger jam.
