Honey Oat Bread
A soft, slightly sweet sandwich bread made with oats and your own honey. The oats add structure and chew; the honey adds a gentle sweetness that makes toast almost unnecessary to butter. A winter baking project that fills the house with warmth and produces something the family will eat in a day.
Ingredients
🌱 From Your Homestead
- raw honey (3 tbsp)
- eggs (1, for egg wash)
🛒 From the Store
- bread flour (3 cups)
- rolled oats (1 cup, plus more for topping)
- active dry yeast (1 packet)
- warm water (1 cup)
- butter (2 tbsp, melted)
- salt (1.5 tsp)
- whole milk (1/4 cup)
How to Make It
- Gather your ingredients: raw honey (3 tbsp), eggs (1, for egg wash), bread flour (3 cups), rolled oats (1 cup, plus more for topping), active dry yeast (1 packet), and the rest.
- Prep your homestead ingredients — wash, chop, and measure: raw honey (3 tbsp), eggs (1, for egg wash).
- Soak the oats in the warm water and honey for 10 minutes before mixing in the flour — the oats soften and absorb liquid, which means they integrate into the dough instead of creating dry pockets. Add the yeast to this oat mixture once it's cooled to lukewarm.
- Cook for approximately 3 hr (including rise). Adjust to taste and serve 12 portions.
- Plate, enjoy, and share with your household!
