Bread machine honey what oat bread is a classic loaf that's incredibly easy to make at home in this recipe adapted for a bread maker.
Servings: 10 slices (2 lb loaf)
Equipment
Ingredients
Liquid Ingredients (add first)
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 Tbsp butter
Dry Ingredients (on top of wet)
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups white flour bread or all-purpose
- 1 cup oats instant or old-fashioned
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 tsp SAF Instant Yeast or 1 Tbsp bread machine yeast
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.)
- Optional, but it's a nice touch if you can catch the machine right before the bake cycle and brush the top of the loaf with a tablespoon of melted butter and then sprinkle on a tablespoon of old-fashioned oats. It gives the finished loaf a nice look with the oats on top, but that's completely optional.
- 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.
