oatmeal wheat sandwich bread

Prep Time2 hours 30 minutes
Cook Time35 minutes
Total Time3 hours 5 minutes
Servings: 1 loaf of bread

Ingredients

  • 1 packet active dry yeast 2 ¼ teaspoons
  • 1 ¼ cups warm milk
  • 1 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, or in the bowl of an electric mixer, combine yeast and milk, stirring to mix. Let sit 10 minutes until foamy.
  • Add flours, oats, butter, brown sugar or honey, and salt and mix on medium-low speed until a "shaggy" dough forms.
  • Increase speed of mixer to medium and knead for 5-6 minutes, until well formed, smooth ball forms. If dough is still pretty sticky, add a couple more tablespoons of flour until it is smooth.
  • Place 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.
  • Remove dough and form into a log, then place into a well-greased 9x5" loaf pan. Let rise for 90 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake in preheated oven 35-40 minutes, until golden on top.
  • Let cool.
  • Slice and enjoy!
