Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup warm water (110°F)
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons additional rolled oats (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Add the rolled oats to a large mixing bowl. Pour the boiling water over the oats and let them sit for 10 minutes to soften.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water (110°F). Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Once the oats have softened, add the honey and melted butter to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Add the yeast mixture to the oat mixture and stir well.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Gently knead in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough into the prepared loaf pan, cover, and let it rise again for about 30 minutes, or until it has risen slightly above the edge of the pan.
If desired, sprinkle the top of the loaf with additional rolled oats before baking.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
