i can now say that i am a true bread snob. i have a bosch. doesn't that make you a bread snob immediately? i even skipped sacrament meeting sunday just to make some bread. i used this recipe, using the molasses as a sweetener, and it was mighty good! i tried out this oatmeal recipe a while back and i really love it too. it comes from the brown eyed baker website but it only makes one loaf. one loaf! we blow through one loaf in a few minutes! so i had to convert it to make two loaves and i'm actually going to double this recipe and make 4 loaves in my giant bosch! again, i apologize for the bosch snootiness. this bread is such a perfect bread for anything from bread and butter (yum carbs!) with dinner to a healthy veggie sandwich (superhero sandwich, anyone?).
so thanks brown eyed baker for a delicious new oatmeal bread recipe. and brown eyes? awesome!
makes 2 9x5 size loaves:
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 cups rolled oats
4 tbsp butter
3 tsp salt
1/2 cup honey
2 cups whole wheat flour
3 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup dry milk
2 tbsp yeast
in a large mixer or bowl, place boiling water, oats, butter, salt and honey. mix for a few minutes until everything is combined. let rest until mixture comes down to room temperature. add dry milk and yeast and mix to combine. add both flours about 1-2 cups at a time until dough has absorbed the flour and is not sticking to bowl. you may need less flour than the recipe calls for, just knead dough together adding flour a little at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. you want a dough that pulls away from the bowl, but still sticks just a little to your hands. knead dough with mixer, or by hand for about 5 minutes until dough is tacky and soft. divide dough into two portions and roll into desired shape. i usually roll, snake like, into a bread loaf shape and then place into a 9 x 5 glass loaf pan. you can also roll into more of a french bread shaped loaf and place on top of a large jelly roll (sheet pan) to rise and bake.
bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes or until top is nicely browned and bread sounds hollow when tapped. brush top with butter and sprinkle with oats. makes a beautiful loaf!
