Oat Batter Bread

Oat Batter Bread
3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 packages instant yeast
1 Tablespoon granulated (white) sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 cup warm milk
1 Tablespoon molasses or honey
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup ground flaxseed

In a large bowl, mix the first five dry ingredients. Add the water, milk, and molasses. Stir in the oats, oat bran, and flax. Divide batter among two greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 45-60 minutes. Bake at 400◦F for about 25 minutes.

This is another no-knead batter bread, and is quicker than most as it only requires one shorter rising time, and the yeast does not need to be proofed beforehand.
