GOOD OAT BREAD....

My sweet blogging friend that lives 

with a infamous pig named EARL

over at HAPPIER THAN A PIG IN MUD

is one of the better cooks.

She made a LIGHT OAT BREAD that sounded so good, I had to try it.

I am a HORRIBLE bread maker..never have very much luck with making HOMEMADE bread.

so I decided to make mine into rolls, which we love.

Got out my YEAST  which was a little past expiration date..not much....but some.

I love that the company is supporting breast cancer research by having a 

BAKE FOR THE CURE.  ♥

OK...then I wondered if I could use this amazing IRISH OATMEAL ♥

for my bread....?....decided I was too much of a titty baby to try something new

so I went with the regular OLD FASHION rolled oats.

Isn't that metal can just amazing, tho...I will be adding THIS CAN to my pile of CANS and BOTTLES

so that I can be a smash hit on HOARDERS tv. program.....

Daughter, STACY, brought this can of STEEL CUT oats to me from one of her trips.

Thanks, Stacy Leigh...♥

I WISH I had a bread machine...but....alas...I do not.

So it was all done by hand....

I LUV my dough beaters that came with my hand-held BLACK AND DECKER mixer.

Coolest mixer I've ever had. Love it...

My mother used to make the best breads, rolls, cakes, pies...baking was her strong suite. She was a fabulous cook of all things but she really excelled at BAKING.
She, of course, didn't have a bread machine, either. Her old wooden spoons were worn smooth on the sides from all the stirring, folding, whipping that she did with them.
Where ARE THOSE SPOONS? Maybe my brother has them....

I guess my yeast WASN'T alright to use because my rolls did not rise up high and mountainous.

They had the BEST yeast flavor...but I admit before the world that they were NOT light and flaky.

...just keepin' it real.....

 ...can you see the oatmeal scattered throughout..?

OK, covering them up so they will stay warm a little longer...

Mr. Sweet hasn't come back from work-out yet and when he does....

he's going to love these LIGHT Oat rolls..

since the recipe uses HONEY instead of SUGAR...makes for a more healthy bread.

Next time, I will use half white and half whole wheat flower flour...

Well, like I said, I covered them up...but not before taking a couple out to...

TRY THEM OUT...

...to see if they tasted good...

....and THEY DID...

Thanks, LYNN, for the good recipe. I'll be making these again but next time will be sure 

to have FRESHER yeast..:>)
