Canadian oatmeal bread
Monday, March 24th, 2008 | Cooking
The Canadian oatmeal bread is a sweet bread, containing both sugar and syrup that is stirred together with oats, butter and boiling water. The sweetness may make it unusable for certain kinds of lunch food dressing (yes, we are one of those weird nations that eat cold lunches) as it can taste through the dressing. It is marvellously good for breakfast, though.
The bread is quickly made, as it contains a fair amount of yeast (at least according to the recipe I have), and it develops a fairly dense crumb and very soft crust. In that sense it sort of resembles a bread form of tea buns, although tea buns are normally a good deal lighter, sweeter and washed with eggs.
It goes very nicely with marmalade.
