Whole Grain Batter Bread
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 packet active yeast
1/4 cup honey or syrup
2 tablespoons unrefined vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, optional
2 egg whites, beaten lightly
2 cups whole flour
1 cup oat bran
1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
Sprinkle yeast on top of water. Let sit a minute then stir to dissolve.
Add honey, oil, salt and egg whites.
Stir in flour and beat 1 to 2 minutes by hand to develop gluten. Stir in bran and nuts.
Spoon into well oiled 9 x 15 inch loaf pan. Set in warm place. Let rise until doubled in size.
Bake in preheated 375F oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until done. Cool before cutting. Loaf will be flat on top because of the bran.
