Welcome to BreadBakingDay #9!
Many thanks to Zorra of 1x umrühren bitte aka kochtopf - who invented this wonderful event (you can read more about bbd here) – for giving me the honor to host this round of BreadBakingDay.
Before we talk about this round please don’t forget to visit the round up of bbd #8 – celebration breads at Wild Yeast.
I am sure it’ll take me hours of reading through all the entries and I am sure every single one is worth the visit!
So now with pleasure and pride I’ll officially invite all of you to participate in this round of BreadBakingDay:
bbd #9 – bread with oats!
To participate please do the following before May 1st:
- Bake a bread with oats.
- Post the bread on your blog.
- Please include a link back to this post.
- Email me at foodblog @ paulchens.org and include:
- Your name
- Your blog’s name and URL
- The name of your bread and the URL (permalink)
- Your location
- A photo would be nice.
- Whether you’d like me to notify you by email when the roundup is posted.
- Please note:
I am very glad to get entries from all over the world and in every language, but unfortunately I can only read English or German – my Spanish and Italian language skills are very poor.
So if your entry is not written in English or German please include a short description of your bread so I can use it for the round up.
Thank you!
Well,… – Let’s bake bread! :o)
Did you know?
- A now obsolete Middle English name for oats was haver, which survives in the name of the livestock feeding bag haversack.
- The early history of oats is obscure, but domestication is considered to be recent compared to that of the other grains–perhaps c.2500 During the Bronze Age, the time when horses were first used as draft animals, oats were widely grown in N Europe but were apparently still uncultivated by the civilizations around the Mediterranean.
- Oats were introduced into the Americas in 1602 by a sea captain who planted them in one of the islands off the coast of Massachusetts.
- Oats were one of the earliest cereals cultivated by man. They were known in ancient China as long ago as 7,000 B.C. The ancient Greeks were the first people known to have made a recognizable porridge (cereal) from oats.
An Englishman and a Scotsman were discussing oats. The Englishman, with his nose in the air said “In England we feed oats to our horses, and in Scotland you feed oats to your men…”, to which the Scotsman replied “…that’s why in England you have such fine horses and in Scotland we have such fine men!”
