EMERALD ISLE BREAD
Here's a savory quick bread that's good for St. Patty's Day, but the ingredients are a bit different. I like the extra texture from the oats, and it generally comes out pretty moist. I believe this was from an old Bon Appetit.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
- Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your bread. Use fresh, high-quality flour, butter, and milk.
- Proof the Yeast: Proofing the yeast is essential for ensuring that your bread rises properly. To proof the yeast, dissolve it in warm water with a little sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
- Knead the Dough Properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives bread its structure and texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the Dough Rise: After you have kneaded the dough, let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce carbon dioxide, which will cause the bread to rise.
- Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, shape it into the desired shape. You can make a loaf, rolls, or even a braided bread.
- Bake the Bread: Bake the bread in a preheated oven at the temperature specified in the recipe. The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of the bread.
