No Knead Oatmeal Casserole Bread
This rustic, no-knead bread is slightly sweet, thanks to a touch of molasses, and oatmeal gives it a nice, chewy texture. Watch video tutorial below.
Yield 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast
- 2 3/4 cups bread flour, divided
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (quick or regular)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
- 1 cup warm water (120-130°F)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons molasses (light)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- Egg wash: 1 egg white mixed with 1 teaspoon water (optional)
- Oats for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine yeast, 1 1/2 cups flour, oats and salt. Add water, oil and molasses to flour mixture; blend on low speed using a paddle attachment. Beat 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed. Add egg; beat 1 minute. Gradually mix in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff batter. Scrape batter from side of bowl. NOTE: For hand mixing: following above steps, mix ingredients in large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon or dough whisk.
- Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Stir down batter. Pour into greased 1 1/2 or 2-quart casserole dish or skillet. Cover; let rise in warm place about 30 minutes. Lightly brush with egg wash and sprinkle oats over the top of loaf (optional).
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until well browned on sides and top. Remove from casserole dish/skillet. If desired, brush with butter; cool on rack.

Can I use all purpose flour for this recipe?
Hi Carol,
You can but you need to choose an All-Purpose Flour with around 11-12% protein. If you go lower in protein the volume will be affected. I would also hold back some water as it will most likely take less water to hydrate your dough.
Happy Baking!

Loved the recipe but the bread stuck to the sides of my casserole dish. Next time I’ll grease the dish!

What size in inches size skillet do I use for The Oatmeal Casserole Bread? I have a 10 inch and 12 inch. Thanks
Hi Barbara,
You can use either size. The 10-inch skillet will yield a bit taller loaf than the 12-inch skillet.
Happy baking!
