IT ALL WENT HORRIBLY WRONG...

miko2My attempt at oat bread went about as well as the Seahawks game did today. I followed the instructions exactly, so I'm not sure where it went wrong, or if the recipe just plain sucks. What happened is that the bread didn't form a nice round dough loaf... it kept breaking apart into lots of tiny clumps that wouldn't stick together. Apparently a lot of little clumps got tossed up over the edge of the bread container, which means that when it started baking, there was dough down around the heating elements that burned. I had just lit a candle when I smelled the burning, so at first I didn't realize it wasn't the candle. But nothing was on fire, so I let it go on. After the baking period was over and it was cooling down, the fire alarm decided to go off. Yay for the fire alarm, warning me only 50 minutes after I'd first noticed the burning smell.
The bread came out edible but it isn't a loaf of bread, it's a clumpy mass of bread objects. I'd just finished mixing up some tunafish so I had to run off to the store to buy something to put it on... I got some 16-grain bread made without processed flour, which sounded quite healthy to me (and was good too). I also got a 10-grain bread mix, because I wasn't going to admit defeat. The bread mix is in the machine now and everything appears to be going much, much better.
