Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 4 hours
Course: breads
Cuisine: American
Servings: 2 loaves

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water Boiling
  • 1 cup Oats Rolled
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • ¼ cup Butter - (half a stick)
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon Ground
  • 1 tbsp Yeast Instant
  • 3 cups Wholewheat Flour
  • 2 cups All purpose flour
  • 3 tsp wheat Vital gluten

Instructions

  • In a bowl of the stand mixer, combine water, oats, sugar, honey, butter, salt and cinnamon. Let cool to lukewarm.
  • Add yeast and the flours to the mixture and knead with the dough hook until a smooth, pliable dough forms, about 5-7 minutes. Spray the top of the dough with cooking spray, cover with a plastic wrap and set aside to rise for 1 hour.
  • Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a loaf. Place the loaves in two 8.5"x4.5" loaf pans (I used my 9"x5" loaf pans, which worked fine), cover loosely with lightly greased plastic wrap and set aside to rise for 1 hour. Dough should crown 1" over the rim of the pan; I had to let my loaves rise for 2.5 hours to get to this stage because it was VERY cold when I made the bread. So make sure that the dough rises sufficiently before baking the bread.
  • Preheat the oven to 360°F and bake the loaves for 33 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the   internal temperature is 190°F. If your oven cannot be set to 360°F, then set it at 350°F and bake for 35-40 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing onto a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

As I said this is the best bread I have ever baked, it's soft, sweet and just so delicious. It pairs well with butter, jelly and even savory cream cheese spread.
