Tuesdays With Dorie – Oatmeal Breakfast Bread

food August 17th, 2010

Here we are. Another Tuesday and another brief-but-dumb post from the ugliest foodiest dude you know.

I used raisins in this bread, although I wish I had used dried cherries or chopped up dried apricots because I’ve never really used them in baked goods and raisins are overdone. The bread is super-soft, probably due to the applesauce/oil base. Tastes great.

This post is brought to you by Wheat Thins, spray-oil, and a dirty rag!

I’m not sure if I was supposed to, but I got a nice bready crust on this. I’ve discovered that if Dorie tells me to bake something for 55-65 minutes, I should take it out at 50.

I’ve started taking blog pictures with my iPhone, which does not even provide the quality that my years-old point-and-shoot digital gives; however, it makes the process much easier.

    I was thinking the same thing about using cherries. It I ever do it again, I will use something besides raisins. Maybe Craisens.

    That iPhone does amazingly well.
