Steel Cut Oatmeal Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made with steel cut oats. Steel cut oats are whole oat groats that have been cut into two or three pieces. This process gives them a chewier texture and a more distinct oat flavor compared to rolled oats. The bread is baked to a golden brown and has a hearty, wholesome appearance.
How people cook with it
This bread is a versatile addition to any meal. It can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a more elaborate dish.
- Toasted for breakfast
- Sandwich base
- Crouton ingredient
- Bread pudding component
You can toast slices of this bread to bring out its nutty flavors and create a satisfying crunch. It makes an excellent base for sandwiches, holding up well to various fillings. For a different texture, cube it and bake into croutons for salads or soups. It also works wonderfully as the foundation for a sweet or savory bread pudding, absorbing flavors beautifully.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white bread, this loaf offers a denser texture and a more pronounced oat flavor. Its heartier composition comes from the steel cut oats, which retain more of their original form than the finely milled grains found in many other breads.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, store it in its original packaging at room temperature. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent it from drying out. For longer storage, you can freeze slices or the whole loaf.
