Making oatmeal bread with kids
Measuring ingredients and mixing oats into the dough are easy ways for children to help. Adults can handle the bread maker and hot pan.
Divide up the work
Measure and prepare ingredients together. Let an adult operate the machine and handle the hot bread pan. Choose a formula from the bread machine oatmeal bread guide.
Cool the loaf before slicing
Turn the loaf out onto a rack. Wait until it is cool enough to handle and skip tasting uncooked dough.
