I've been looking for a new bread to try. I was thinking that it would be good to do an oatmeal bread, and this one sounded like a good one to try. I thought I found this one on Honest Cooking, but I couldn't find it when I looked again.
3
cups flour
1
cup rolled oats
2
tablespoons butter
3
tablespoons brown sugar or honey
2¼
teaspoons active dry yeast (dissolve it in the warm milk before combining with
the remaining ingredients)
1¼
cups lukewarm milk
¾
cup raisins or currants (optional)
- Combine all of the ingredients, mixing to form a shaggy dough. Knead the dough until it's smooth.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rest for 1 hour; it'll become quite puffy, though it may not double in bulk.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rest for 1 hour.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled surface, and shape it into a log.
- Place the log in a lightly greased 9" x 5" loaf pan, cover the pan, and allow the dough to rise for 60 to 90 minutes.
- Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the bread for 35 to 40 minutes. If the bread appears to be browning too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil for the final 10 minutes of baking.
- Remove the bread from the oven, wait a couple of minutes, then turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool.
