Bread Machine Oat Bread: Rye and Cranberry Variations

Two original bread-machine formulas with oats: one with rye and one with dried cranberries. See the gram measurements and how we adjusted the dough.

I pulled our bread machine out of storage to make oat bread. In our loaves the oats blended into the dough, and I could barely feel the individual flakes in the finished bread.

Ingredients for the oat and rye loaf

200 g bread flour
100 g oats
20 g olive oil
4 g salt
About 180 mL water
100 g rye flour
2 g dry yeast (the original recipe suggests trying 4 g for more rise)

Ingredients for the cranberry oat loaf

200 g bread flour
100 g oats
20 g olive oil
4 g salt
About 180 mL water
100 g dried cranberries
4 g dry yeast

Using the bread machine

Choose one ingredient list and follow your machine’s directions for the loading order and program. If the dough is stiff during kneading, add water a little at a time. Our oat dough sometimes rose less than our regular dough, so we adjusted the yeast. Coarsely chopped nuts are another option if you want some crunch.
