Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 g Rolled oats
- 300 g All-purpose flour
- 100 g Whole wheat flour
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 8 g Salt
- 40 g Honey
- 250 ml Warm water
- 100 ml Milk
- 30 g Unsalted butter
- 15 g Oats (for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
In a small saucepan, warm the water, milk, honey, and butter over low heat until the butter is just melted. Ensure the mixture is lukewarm (approximately 38°C/100°F).
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and slightly elastic.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean damp towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it back to a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Lightly brush the top of the loaf with water and sprinkle the oats evenly over the surface.
Cover the loaf pan with a clean towel and let the dough rise again for approximately 30-40 minutes until it has doubled in size again.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
