Start by blending rolled oats in a food processor for about 20-30 seconds until they reach a fine flour consistency, with some lumps remaining.

Transfer the blended oat flour into a large bowl.

Add salt to the oat flour in the bowl.

Add baking soda to the dry ingredients in the bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix together plain yogurt, treacle (molasses), and an egg until combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined.

Observe the dough puffing up as the yogurt and baking soda react.

Transfer the dough into a buttered 9x5 inch pan and flatten the top.

Bake in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and crackled on top.

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool before slicing.
