Agree

Wondering why you don’t use tomato paste much, its quite economical & yummy?

[@NikkiBeal]

You could definitely swap out the passata for tomato paste in this meal plan, if you wanted to. I didn't specifically go shopping for this video, instead I got creative with items I already had on hand & tried to use the same ingredients in multiple different ways. I do have an open jar of tomato paste in my fridge, but I chose to use the unopened passata instead.

I've just tried the baked oatmeal... I have to say, I reckon I'll be drizzling dune honey over this before I eat it... I've used an off-brand of peach halves in light syrup and honestly, I'm not sure how they define syrup because it wasn't sweet and the peaches really didn't taste peachy?

[@NikkiBeal]

I wonder what they use to make 'light syrup'? I must admit, while I haven't had any problems with tinned peaches, the tinned pears of late have been powdery & tasteless (which is disappointing). Honey would be delightful with this, as would a good dollop of yogurt (if you have it).

Can you share a recipe for the oat bread please? Or tell me the amounts of ingredients? 🙏

[@NikkiBeal]

2 cups plain flour
1 cup quick oats
1 tsp Yeast
1 & 1/2 cups warm water

[@Sonja...]

Thanks, how long to rise and how long/temp to cook?

[@NikkiBeal]

@@Sonja... first rise: at least 2hrs or until doubled in size (can be left to rise overnight).
2nd rise (in loaf pan): at least 30mins or until doubled in size.
Bake at 230*C for 45 mins

[@billydilly69]

What temp do you cook the bread at.

[@NikkiBeal]

230*C / 450*F 👍
