A hearty and wholesome honey oat bread, naturally sweetened and perfect for sandwiches, toasts, or enjoying with soup. Soft, sliceable, and full of comforting flavor.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2¼ tsp active dry yeast
  • 1½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup lukewarm water
  • ¼ cup raw, natural honey
  • 2 Tbsp honey (for topping)
  • 2 Tbsp rolled oats (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or stand mixer, whisk together flour, oats, yeast, and salt.
  2. Warm milk and butter in a saucepan over medium-low until the butter melts, then stir in honey and water without boiling.
  3. Combine the wet and dry mixtures and knead with a dough hook for 6–8 minutes, or by hand for about 10 minutes, adding flour as needed to reduce tackiness.
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled, about 30–60 minutes.
  5. Shape the dough and place it in a greased 9×5″ loaf pan. Cover and let rise again until doubled, another 30–60 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
  7. Brush the loaf with honey and sprinkle rolled oats on top.
  8. Bake for 40 minutes, rotating halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
  9. Let the loaf cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use almond or coconut milk as a dairy-free alternative.
  • Add flour 1 tablespoon at a time if dough is too sticky during kneading.
  • Ensure dough rises in a warm place for better results.
