Honey Oat Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tsp dry yeast
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1/4 cup sunflower oil
- 3 cups warm water
- 3 cups whole oats
- 7 cups bread flour
Instructions
- Dissolve 3 teaspoons of dry yeast and 1/2 cup of warm water with a tablespoon of honey. After the yeast mixture becomes bubbly add the honey, salt, oil, and water.
- Add the oats and a couple of cups of flour. Begin mixing in a stand mixer with a bread hook. Slowly add the rest of the flour until the dough comes together. Depending on the flour you are using it may take a little more or a little less flour to create a manageable dough.
- After the dough has come together turn it out on a floured surface and knead for 3 or 4 minutes. Place in a well-oiled bowl. Cover and rise for a half hour.
- Punch down and rise again until double in bulk. Shape loaves and place them in well-oiled bread pans.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let loaves double again before baking for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Notes
Add a little more if you like sweeter bread.
Sprinkle some oats on top before baking. This helps distinguish honey oat bread from other loaves.
