I have been baking bread for a long time, and this is definitely at the top of my favorite list. I made it twice this weekend - first by hand, following the recipe (although i had to add 1/2 cup of additional water to the dough), then i tried it making with the bread machine on dough cycle and baking it in the oven. When i make it in the breadmachine in the future, i won't pre-cook the oatmel - it becomes a big "lump", and is hard for the machine to handle. Also, i reduced the brown sugar to 1 tbsp, substituted 1 cup of whole wheat for bread flour, and 1/4 cup of wheat gluten for bread flour. Very tasty bread - I didn't think it was dense. I would highly recommend it!

If you like VERY dense breads you might like this one. I prefer a lighter bread and should have read the reviews prior to making it, and I might have looked for another recipe. It is good toasted, however, and it is easy to use. Thanks to cheapchick for her advice on using an egg wash and sprinkling toasted oatmeal (about 1/4 c.) on top of the bread. It did look nice.

If you like a dense bread, as I do, this is excellent. If you're looking for a light, fluffy bread, you need to select another recipe. This has a somewhat chewy texture, and is good toasted or untoasted. I might cut down a bit on the sugar next time, but it's good as is. My dough did not require the full amount of flour stated in the recipe to make the dough not sticky.

I have been making bread for a long time and this is one of the worst. It is heavy and gummy. Definately would not make this again.

I've been making this wonderful moist bread for three years now. It's healthy, a crowd pleaser, keeps well, and makes great toast. The recipe has never let me down. Give it a try.

This was okay tasting, but was heavy. I may try it again.

Has a great hearty texture and weight. Reminds me of my moms oatmeal bread. Best eaten right out of the oven, but great toasted later too.

Did this recipe both from scratch & in the machine like the last reviewer suggested. Even the scratch recipe is easier than most breads--and really delicious!

Shhhh, don't tell anyone! I halved all of the ingredients, and I also skipped the preliminary steps of soaking the oats, etc. I dumped everything into my bread machine---STUPENDOUS LOAF OF BREAD!!! Slightly sweet, wonderful color, texture, and flavor. A keeper.
