Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Raisins or dried fruit
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add the brown sugar, raisins or dried fruit, and chopped nuts to the dry ingredients. Stir to evenly distribute the mix-ins.
Pour in the water and stir until everything is well combined. The batter will be quite thick, more like a dough than a typical bread batter.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, pressing it down gently with a spatula to make sure it’s level.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the top is firm and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before cutting it into squares or bars.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
