Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h25m

Yield 1 loaf bread

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup water
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons butter
3 cups bread flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats or 1/2 cup oats
2 tablespoons dry milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast or 2 1/4 teaspoons quick-rising yeast

Steps:

  • Bake on Sweet Bread cycle.
  • Recipe is for large loaf (1. 5 lb).
  • Measure all ingredients EXACTLY- close is not"good enough".
  • Water temperature must be between 70 and 80 degrees.
  • Load ingredients in the pan IN THE ORDER LISTED.
  • Keep yeast away from liquid, Make indention in flour for yeast.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats are the best choice for this recipe, as they will provide a chewy texture and nutty flavor. Quick-cooking oats or instant oats will not work as well.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a slight tang and richness to the bread. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This oatmeal bread is a delicious and hearty breakfast or snack. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The bread is also a good source of fiber, protein, and iron.
