Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups Boiling water
- 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk (can use plant-based milk for dairy-free options)
Instructions
Start by soaking the oats. Place 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats in a bowl and pour 1.5 cups of boiling water over them. Stir to combine and let them sit for about 10 minutes until the oats are softened.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups of whole wheat flour, 2.25 teaspoons of instant yeast, and 1.5 teaspoons of salt.
To the soaked oats, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 large egg (beaten), and 0.5 cup of milk. Mix well.
Gradually add the wet oat mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a small amount of flour as needed.
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf.
Transfer the shaped dough into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover again with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 45 minutes or until it reaches about 1 inch above the rim of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
