Each September, the Texas Wheat Yeast & Quick Bread Contest at the Tri-State Fair & Rodeo inspires home bakers to discover new ways to enjoy wheat. By highlighting the variety and flavor of wheat-based recipes, the contest encourages greater wheat consumption and reminds fairgoers just how tasty and nutritious this everyday grain can be.
The Yeast Bread contest winner, Elise Herring, impressed the judges with her Molasses Oat Bread, a recipe that combined her love of home-milled wheat with the rich flavors of molasses. The balance of sweet and savory notes set this bread apart and showcased the depth of flavor wheat can bring to homemade items. Try her recipe below and bring this award-winning loaf to your own kitchen.
