Whole Wheat Love Oatmeal Bread

 Can you lot almost odour the comforting, homey, at in 1 lawsuit recognizable, fresh from the oven warm bread?  Boy oh boy.  Bread speaks to me (as produce other things but correct at nowadays I’m drooling over the warm while amongst honey.)  As I’ve mentioned on many occasions I’m a frequent reader and contributor on Tasty Kitchen.  This recipe has been 1 of the most pop too highly rated for a long time.  After enjoying Lion House Rolls for Thanksgiving too Christmas, I idea nosotros should endeavor for a to a greater extent than complex, healthier, lower fatty variety.  I dare tell that all the positive reviews were right; this staff of life is easy, hearty too delicious.  And … it goes a long way.  One while amongst a piddling almond butter for breakfast, too I’m skilful to become for hours.  I can’t hold off to endeavor this in 1 lawsuit to a greater extent than adding a piddling flax seed, and perchance sunflower seeds too.

You’ll postulate two bundle of Active Dry Yeast (4 1/2 teaspoons), honey, butter, water, salt, unbleached staff of life flour (or all role flour), whole wheat flour, oats too 1 egg.

 In a medium saucepan combine iv tablespoons butter too 1/2 loving cup honey.

 Heat on medium depression until the butter is melted.  Remove from the burner too add together two 1/4 cups warm (not hot) water.  You wish the mixture to achieve 110-120 degrees.  If it’s also hot it volition kill the yeast, non hot plenty too the yeast won’t bloom.  I utilization a thermometer to double banking concern fit the temperature.

 Sprinkle both packages of yeast into the H2O / love mixture.  Set aside until the yeast blooms, virtually 10 minutes.

 In a large mixing bowl combine the salt, two cups whole wheat flour, too 1 loving cup staff of life flour.

 The saucepan amongst the yeast should live virtually laid upwardly when it looks bubbly or blooming.

 Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture.

 Fit the mixer amongst the dough claw too plough on low.  Mix until all dry out ingredients are moisture too thus increase the speed to medium too shell for two minutes.  Scrape the sides of the bowl.

 Lightly shell 1 egg too add together it to the large mixing bowl.  Gradually shell inward the egg too 1 loving cup of whole wheat flour until blended.  Beat on medium speed for two to a greater extent than minutes.

  Add the oats, 1 loving cup of whole wheat flour too 1 loving cup staff of life flour. Knead on depression until the dough is smoothen too elastic.

  Add upwardly to 1 to a greater extent than loving cup of staff of life flour if the dough is sticky. I added virtually 2/3 loving cup to larn the dough to the proper consistency.

 Turn the dough out into a good oiled bowl.  Cover too identify the bowl inward a warm place gratis from drafts.

 After virtually an hr the dough should double inward size.  Punch downwardly the dough.

 Place the dough on a lightly floured surface too encompass amongst the mixing bowl.  Let the dough rising in 1 lawsuit to a greater extent than for virtually fifteen minutes.

 Cut the dough inward one-half too cast into loaves.

 Place the loaves inward greased 9×5 loaf pans.  Sprinkle additional oats on top if desired.  Allow the staff of life to rising 1 to a greater extent than fourth dimension – virtually 1 hour.

 Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to xl minutes.

 Allow the staff of life to cool earlier slicing …- simply kidding!  Trying to encounter if you’re nonetheless amongst me!  These directions seem similar a lot to produce but it’s actually not.  If you’re domicile on the weekend doing laundry, making a pot of soup, cleaning house, etc. this would live a perfect piddling distraction.  Besides you lot mightiness live hungry past times the fourth dimension you lot larn it done.

 Warm love staff of life tin ever utilization to a greater extent than honey.
