Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup steel-cut oats
2 cups boiling water
1/3 cup bulghur wheat
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup warm water (about 110 degrees)
1 envelope active dry yeast (1 scant tablespoon)
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
Unsalted butter, room temperature, for bowl and pan
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, cover steel-cut oats with the boiling water. Let stand until room temperature. Stir in bulghur wheat and honey; set aside.
  • Place the warm water in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over water. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the reserved oat mixture with the yeast mixture, whole-wheat flour, and salt. Add the all-purpose flour until the dough is tacky, but not sticky. Continue kneading about 5 minutes more.
  • Place dough in a buttered bowl, and cover with buttered plastic wrap directly on the surface. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 90 minutes, or refrigerate overnight.
  • Turn out dough onto a clean work surface; form into a loaf about 9 inches long. Lightly mist with water; sprinkle with rolled oats. Place in a well-buttered 9-by-5-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pan; let stand until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a serrated knife, slash top of loaf lengthwise down center. Place immediately in oven. Bake until nicely browned and cooked through, about 1 hour. Remove from pan; let cool on a wire rack.

This recipe was a bit bland. I think it could have used more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

This bread was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been made with white flour instead of whole grain oat flour.

I've made this oat bread several times now and it's always a hit. My family loves it and it's so easy to make. I usually add in some raisins or nuts for extra flavor.
