Description
A simple recipe for a moist and slightly sweet bread featuring oats and honey.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Combine warm water and yeast in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in honey, melted butter, and salt into the yeast mixture.
- Add rolled oats and mix well.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Cover the pan and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
- Remove the bread from the pan immediately and cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- For a softer crust, brush the top of the loaf with a little extra melted butter immediately after removing it from the oven.
- You can substitute brown sugar for honey, but adjust the liquid slightly if the dough seems too dry.
