Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rye flour
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cooked rolled oats (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the warm water and honey, then sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and salt. Stir to combine.
Pour the yeast mixture and melted butter into the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. You may need to add a little more all-purpose flour if the dough is too sticky.
Place the dough into a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a round or loaf shape. Place it on a greased baking sheet or into a greased loaf pan.
If desired, sprinkle the top of the dough with cooked oats for garnish. Lightly press them down to adhere.
Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30 minutes, or until it has puffed up.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
