Description
A warm, golden loaf that fills the kitchen with cozy autumn aromas, combining toasted oats and sweet honey for a comforting breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup warm milk (240 ml)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (60 ml)
- 1/4 cup honey (60 ml)
- 1/4 cup melted butter (60 ml)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (375 g)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine rolled oats with warm milk and let it sit for 10 minutes to soften.
- Dissolve active dry yeast in warm water, add one tablespoon of honey, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
- Add softened oats, melted butter, and honey to the yeast mixture, then stir until combined.
- Gradually mix in all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and salt until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a log, placing it in a greased loaf pan for a second rise of 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the bread for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
For a lighter loaf, consider using bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. This recipe is versatile – it can be made with variations like maple walnut or savory herb.
