This is another Allrecipes.com fav! My dad even asked for the recipe and he usually prefers to be critical of what I cook, but this was a winner! A great recipe if you take meals to people! It can also be versatile because if you follow the directions the herbs go on top of the bread. So you could make this savory OR sweet. Next time I may try to work some of the herbs into the dough though, to make the dough more dimensional.

How To Make herbed oat pan bread

  • Step 1
    In a saucepan, bring water to a boil; stir in oats. Remove from heat. Stir in butter; cool to 120°-130°F.
