I am in the process of going through my recipes and transfering them to disk.
I came across this recipe for oatbread from the Quaker Oats people. I
haven't made it for years, but everytime I did make it, my family loved it.
It always struck me as a "hearth" loaf (well, if you don't put it into pans)
and while not period, exactly...it could be "period - like!"
