- ¾ cups old fashioned oatmeal (or instant)
- 1 package instant yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons Oatmeal
Instructions
- Whisk oatmeal, flours, yeast and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- In a 2 cup measuring cup or bowl, add butter and microwave for 10 seconds. Add milk and ¼ cup water and heat for 1 minute until warm but not hot. Add honey and stir to combine.
- Add milk mixture to flour mixture and stir until it is combined. Then with dough hook attachment, knead for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover and place in a warm place to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch down and spread into a square that is 9 by 9 inches. Roll it jellyroll style into a log that will fit into a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Place it in the pan,, seam side down, cover and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it is about doubled.
- Warm a tablespoon of honey in the microwave for a few seconds so it will easily spread. Spread on top of the loaf, covering it completely. Sprinkle with oatmeal.
- Bake for 350º for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before slicing.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- For a warm place for the bread to rise, heat up water in the microwave and add the bowl of dough to the warm microwave. Shut the door and let it rise in a warm humid environment.
- You can leave out the whole wheat flour and use only all-purpose flour for a lighter loaf.
- Make sure that your butter mixture is warm and not hot when adding it to the yeast mixture or it will kill the yeast.
