Whole Oat Flour Bread

I have had lots of folks in my life looking for gluten -free options here lately and I too am wanting to move my family to a gluten free diet so, today I decided to play with oat flour...
I had been told that you could replace up to 1/3 of the flour in your recipes with oat flour but, being the "all in" kind of person that I am... I wanted to experiment...


So, here is my first attempt at a whole oat flour bread recipe...it is dense & moist (yeast-free), it sliced up nicely and had a very delicious flavor! I served it with egg salad for lunch and everyone loved it...


Extremely good for a first go - Hope you enjoy it!
