Old Fashioned Oatmeal Bread Recipe

Printer Friendly Version

Here is a very simple and delicious oatmeal bread recipe that you can make in your bread machine. My sons love this bread. It is one of the first breads I ever made in the bread machine and it's still one of our favorites. The original version called for molasses, but I substituted honey and we like it much better.

Ingredients:

1.5 pound loaf	2 pound loaf
1 cup water 1/4 cup honey 2 tablespoons margarine or butter, softened 3 cups bread flour 1/2 cup quick cooking or regular oats 2 tablespoons dry milk 1 and 1/4 teaspoons salt 1 and 3/4 teaspoons yeast	1 and 1/3 cups water 1/4 cup honey 2 tablespoons margarine or butter, softened 4 cups bread flour 2/3 cup quick cooking or regular oats 2 tablespoons dry milk 1 and 1/4 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons yeast

Directions:

Measure and add liquid ingredients to the bread pan.

Measure and add dry ingredients (except yeast) to the bread pan.

Use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast.* Measure the yeast and carefully pour it into the well.

Snap the baking pan into the breadmaker and close the lid.

Press "Select" button to choose the Sweet setting.

Press the "Crust Color" button to choose light, medium or dark crust.

Press the "Start/Stop" button.

*Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients.
