Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 packet 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • Optional: Extra oats for topping

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix warm water, honey, and yeast; let it bubble 5–10 min.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, and salt.
  3. Add yeast mixture and oil to dry ingredients; stir until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Knead dough on a floured surface for 8–10 min until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise 1–1.5 hours until doubled.
  6. Punch down dough, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased 9x5-inch pan; sprinkle oats on top if desired.
  7. Cover and let rise 30–40 min until puffy.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake 30–35 min until golden brown.
  9. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Use warm, not hot, water to avoid killing yeast.
  • Dough should be slightly sticky for best texture.
  • Extra oats on top give a beautiful bakery-style finish.
  • Store covered at room temperature for 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
