Machine Made , Oven Cooked Loaf

Method

Use machine on dough mode.

Shape dough into a  ball(ish) shape.

Place on a try.   In our case a pizza / bread stone.  Use lots of flour on stone to stop it sticking.

Use sharp knife to cut a X in the top to allow it to expand without tearing during cooking

Brush the top of it with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the porridge oats.

NOTE : I place a tray of water in the oven / bbq, the steam helps to give a nice crispy crust.

  1. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 230C/450F/Gas
    1. OR Heat BBQ to high, put apple / hickory chips in smoker.
    2. Cook for as below.
  2. Bake the loaf in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through (the loaf is cooked when it is risen and golden and sounds hollow when tapped underneath).

I often make / cook our loaves this way.
