VERMONT WHOLE WHEAT OATMEAL HONEY BREAD

This is a lovely, soft, mildly sweet loaf, perfect for both sandwiches and toast. From King Arthur flour.

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Grains

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups boiling water
1 cup rolled oats (traditional or quick not instant)
1/2 cup maple sugar (or brown sugar)
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon kosher salt (or 2 1/2 teaspoons table salt)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, Vietnamese preferred (you can reduce or leave out if desired)
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour (or whole wheat flour)
4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, oats, maple or brown sugar, honey, butter, salt, and cinnamon. Let cool to lukewarm, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the yeast and flours, stirring to form a rough dough. Knead (about 10 minutes by hand, 5 to 7 minutes by machine) until the dough is smooth and satiny.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour. Since the dough is warm to begin with (from the boiling water), it should become quite puffy.
  • Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a loaf. Place the loaves in two greased 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" bread pans.
  • Cover the pans with lightly greased plastic wrap and allow the loaves to rise until they've crowned about 1" over the rim of the pan, about 60 to 90 minutes.
  • Bake the loaves in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes, tenting them lightly with aluminum foil after 25 minutes, to prevent over-browning. Remove them from the oven when they're golden brown, and the interior registers 190°F on a digital thermometer.
  • Turn the loaves out onto a rack to cool. Store at room temperature, well-wrapped, for several days; freeze for longer storage.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the bread will taste. This is especially true for the honey and wheat flour.
  • Make sure the yeast is active before using it. If the yeast is not active, the bread will not rise properly.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the bread a chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to work its magic and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will cause the bread to rise.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to create a crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Vermont Honey Wheat Bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be used for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoyed on its own. It is a great way to use up leftover honey and wheat flour, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a new bread recipe to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
