Ingredients

Liquid Ingredients (add first)

1/2 cup water
1 cup milk or more water
1/4 cup honey
3 Tbsp. butter or neutral oil

Dry Ingredients (on top of wet)

3 1/2 cups White Flour Bread or All Purpose
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats not instant oats
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp SAF Instant Yeast or 3 tsp. Bread Machine Yeast

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Prepare your bread maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Place wet ingredients in the bottom of the pan.
Add dry ingredients on top of wet, making a small well in the flour to add the salt and yeast.
Bake using the "basic" or "normal" bread cycle. (If your bread maker allows you to choose crust darkness, I'd suggest "light" as the honey in the bread causes the crust to darken more than some bread, and a "light" setting will give you a medium crust.)
Remove from the bread machine when complete, and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting for best results.

Notes

I suggest using old fashioned oats in this recipe. Quick cooking or instant oatmeal will work, but it's better with the old fashioned stuff.

The oats should be dry/raw, not cooked into oatmeal when they go into the bread machine.

If you'd like a heartier loaf, you can substitute some of the white flour for whole wheat. I'd suggest not using more than half whole wheat in this recipe. My best suggestion is adding 1 1/2 cup whole wheat and 2 cups white in place of the 3 1/2 cups of flour in this recipe, if you choose to add any whole wheat at all.
