TWD: Oatmeal Breakfast Bread
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie is Oatmeal Breakfast Bread, chosen by Natalie of Oven Love.
I really enjoyed making this bread, and I liked it even more than I didn’t even have to break out the mixer for it! I followed the recipe exactly as it was written without any tweaks, other than I used dried cranberries for the fruit.
My favorite part of the bread was definitely the crusty topping, which is made with brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped pecans. I wasn’t crazy about the bread itself, it was just a little too heavy for me, though it was good and the kids liked it. I’d make it again if they request it.
Love your photos of the bread! YUM! Sorry you were not crazy over it but since your children are, the bread will still be enjoyed =). The dried cranberries sound like a great addition.

Now, I liked the denseness of this bread. And the topping was wonderful. Definitely have to make this one again.
I also used the cranberries. Not a raisin lover.

Gorgeous photos of your cake! I used figs, but I think it needed the flavour contrast of cranberries.
