Description
Delicious homemade bread made with a mix of bread flour and rolled oats for added texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups bread flour (fluffed, spooned and leveled)
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) Red Star Platinum Premium Yeast
- 1 tsp coarse Kosher salt (if using table salt, use half the amount)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
Instructions
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the flour, oats, yeast and salt.
- In a saucepan, warm the honey, butter (2 tbsp) and buttermilk to between 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the warm buttermilk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients, then stir into a shaggy, sticky dough.
- With the dough hook, knead the dough for five minutes.
- Scrape the dough into a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in size.
- Melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter, and lightly brush the inside of a 1-lb bread loaf pan with some of the butter.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured counter, and gently press or roll the dough out to about 8×15 inches.
- Roll up the dough into a log, and place the log of dough into the greased loaf pan, with the seam facing down and the ends of the bread tucked down.
- Set the pan in a warm place and let the dough rise again, about 30-40 minutes, until the dough has risen several inches above the top edge of the pan.
- Brush the top of the dough gently with the rest of the melted butter. If you like, sprinkle the top of the bread with a few oats – these look nice on top after baking, but note that they do fall right off as soon as you slice the bread.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F, and position a rack in the center of the oven.
- Bake the bread for about 45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown, and a digital instant read thermometer inserted into the center of the bread reads 195F.
- Remove the bread from the pan and set it on a cooling rack. Cool for at least one hour before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
- To enhance the flavor, consider adding herbs or spices to the dough.
