This oatmeal bread is super easy to make because you don’t have to make rolls or shape into a loaf. All I did was press the dough into regular large baking dish.Sometime I made the bread red by adding some grated beets and then my kids call it dragon blood bread:) It’s easy to make this gluten-free by using gluten-oarts and all-purpose flour instead. 
- 2 ½ cups milk
- 50g butter
- 2 ½ cups oats plus some for decoration
- 6 cups white spelt flour or all-purpose flour (maybe more)
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 ½ tsp. active dry yeast
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- Combine milk, oats and butter in a saucepan and bring to boil while stirring. When it’s kind of gluey it’s done.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Pour oatmeal mix into to a large bowl or kitchen aid.
- Add flour, maple syrup, salt and yeast.
- Work the dough until it’s elastic and lets go of the bowl.
- Cover bowl with a towel and leave to rise in a draft free place for 1 hour.
- Line a large baking dish with parchment paper and press dough into it and make it even.
- Cover with towel and rise again for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to F400.
- Brush dough with some warm milk and sprinkle oats over.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until it’s golden brown and center is firm.
- Cut into squares once bread is cool.
