    Amish Oat Bran Bread With a Tennessee Twist

    Published: Sep 12, 2014 · Updated: Sep 12, 2014 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    photo.11Most Amish cooks have a "go to" recipe and this is an easy one that probably has its roots in the "oat bran" craze of the 1980s. Remember back when oat bran was supposed to be the "super food?"  So oat bran was sudden found it everything.  I still love my "Cracklin Oat Bran" cereal on occasion:)    This is a loaf of bread I picked up at an Amish bakery this week.  The recipe comes from an Amish baker in Ohio, but I've also added a Tennessee twist.  Some Amish add a splash of molasses to this bread and gives it a darker and slightly sweeter flavor.  The bread in the photo does not have molasses in it. I sliced some for a BLT sandwich and it's a nice, airy loaf of bread.  Enjoy!
