Ingredients
- 2.5 teaspoons yeast
- 2.25 cups bread flour
- 1.25 cups oatmeal
- 1.25 teaspoons salt
- 7/6 cups water
- 3.5 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 5.0 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the water, yeast, and honey. Let stand until the yeast is foamy and activated.
Step 2
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the bread flour, oatmeal, and salt.
Step 3
Pour the activated yeast mixture and vegetable oil into the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly greased mixing bowl, turning once to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
Step 6
Gently punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf.
Step 7
Place the shaped loaf into a lightly greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise again in a warm place until nearly doubled.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to the appropriate temperature for baking bread (typically 350-375°F).
Step 9
Bake the bread in the preheated oven until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should be around 200-210°F.
Step 10
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
