I have made this bread a few times now and it truly is very very good. No Fail!! I would like to find the nutritional info if it is available for this bread. The loaves are beautiful and I haven't bought store bought bread since finding this recipe. Any help in finding the caloric count etc. would truly be appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks so much for letting me know that it works for you!

I love to bake this bread when I need something for sandwiches. It also makes a fantastic toast. If you are just starting out making your own bread, oatmeal bread is a nice gateway. It is more dense than white bread, but not as heavy as another type may be.
This is a simple, delicious bread for everyday use. Try it!
