You could also add vital wheat gluten to the dry ingredients; that helps with heavier doughs. If the dough doesn't rise, it's likely due to the ingredients being either too hot when added (kills yeast) or too cold (doesn't activate).

Then set it in a warm spot but the rise was not very noticeable. The yeast and all ingredients were fresh. Maybe the kitchen was too cold? I let it rest on the stove top with the oven on for over 2 hours. Where did I go wrong? I've never made bread with oatmeal before. Thanks for the advise! Looking forward to tasting the bread.

I clicked over to the original recipe to clarify. You might want to add that to the directions.

But, we really enjoyed it. <br /><br />As for cutting, invest in a good bread knife - we love the eversharp one, but also have a nice bread knife that came with out block set. I cut the bread when it's at room temperature, and cut the whole loaf at one time. You can score the top of the loaf first to help you learn the right thickness. Hope that helps!SnoWhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12939257456903076156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-50209787918012777502013-09-05T11:58:55.288-05:002013-09-05T11:58:55.288-05:00Thanks for the recipe!

Also, thanks for linking to the bread storage tips; it was exactly what I had been searching for this week. Finally, (and this might seem a little silly, but) any tips on how to make bread slices of consistent thickness?HeyBeckyJhttp://livelybalance.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
