Provided by Jennifer McGavin

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch     Dinner     Lunch     Side Dish     Bread

Time 3h10m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup water (boiling)
1 tablespoon honey
Optional: 1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water (warm, about 110 F)
2 teaspoons yeast
Pinch of sugar
1 1/2 to 2 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
Optional: oatmeal for sprinkling on top

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Mix the oats and whole wheat flour in a bowl.
  • Add the boiling water and stir.
  • Stir in the honey, molasses, if using, oil, and salt and let cool, about 1/2 hour.
  • In a small bowl, mix the warm water with the yeast and a pinch of sugar, stirring to dissolve yeast. Place in a warm spot for about 10 minutes until foam forms on the top of the mixture.
  • Add the yeast to the oat mixture and mix well.
  • Start adding the all-purpose flour 1/2 cup at a time until a firm dough forms.
  • Turn out on a lightly floured board and knead 4 to 5 minutes, until the dough is elastic and somewhat smooth.
  • Form the dough into a ball and place in a clean, oiled bowl, turning once to coat.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot (70 to 85 F) until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Shape the bread into a sandwich loaf and place it in the pan.
  • Spray the top of the loaf with water and sprinkle oatmeal or other desired topping on the bread.
  • Cover with a towel and let rise until almost double. (If steaming your bread, skip to the steaming instructions.)
  • Meanwhile, heat your oven to 450 F for 1/2 hour; if using a baking stone, heat for 1 hour.
  • Slash the top of the loaf with a sharp razor blade.
  • Place the loaf pan in the oven and turn down to 400 F. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the bread's internal temperature reaches 190 F.
  • Let the bread cool for about 1 hour or so before serving.
  • Place an old roasting pan on the rack below the baking stone (if using) or the rack below where the loaf pan will go. After you put the bread in the oven, fill the roasting pan with 2 cups of boiling water.
  • Using a squirt bottle, spray water on the sides of the oven two or three times within the first 5 minutes of baking.
  • Turn the oven down to 400 F and bake for 30 minutes or more, until the internal temperature of the bread reaches 190 F.
  • Bread steams itself dry, so let the loaf cool for at least 2 hours before slicing or it may seem gummy inside.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful bread, use toasted oats. To toast the oats, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be sure to grease and flour your loaf pan before adding the batter. This will help prevent the bread from sticking.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Hearty oatmeal bread is a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack bread. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its hearty texture and nutty flavor, this bread is sure to become a favorite.
