Ingredients




3 3/4 cups bread flour divided
1/2 cup oat flour
1 cup warm water 100 to 110 F
1 pkt dry yeast
1/2 cup regular oats
3/4 cup boiling water
1 cup raisins
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons barley flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
cooking spray

Preparation

1 Lightly spoon bread and oat flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. 2 Combine 3/4 cup bread flour, warm water, and yeast in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Cover and let stand at room temperature 1 hour. 3 Combine oats and boiling water in a small bowl. Stir in raisins, honey, and cinnamon; cool. Set aside. 4 Add 2 1/2 cups bread flour, oat flour, barley flour, salt and vinegar to yeast mixture. Add oatmeal mixture; stir until a soft dough forms (dough will feel tacky). Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of remaining bread flour, 1 tbsp at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands. Shape into 2 (9-inch) oval loaves. Make 3 parallel cuts 1/4-inch deep across tops of loaves on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spray tops with cooking sp 5 Preheat oven to 375 F. 6 Uncover dough. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from baking sheet; cool on a wire rack. 7 Description: "Raisins, honey, and a touch of cinnamon make this light-textured bread a perfect choice for breakfast." 8 Yield: "2 loaves"
