I was raised on homemade bread, and this recipe couldn't be easier or more satisfying. Sometimes I'll add raisins and cinnamon for a different taste.

Oatmeal Loaf Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 50 min.

Yield: 16 Servings

20 50 70

Ingredients

1 cup boiling water
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/3 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Melted butter
Additional oats

Directions

In a large bowl, combine boiling water and oats; let stand until warm (110°-115°). In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; add to oat mixture. Add honey, butter, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down. Shape into a loaf; place in a greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with oats. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 1 loaf.

Just made this and it was great! I only had 2 1/2 cups flour TOTAL in the dough. I thought that was odd but any more it would have been way too stiff. It might have been the weather too. Really wet here today. And I baked it for 45 min. But 50 would have been perfect. I will be making this again and letting my clients know about this awesome loaf!

I used leftover oatmeal from breakfast and added just a little more liquid. It turned out excellent.

We made it and it was great. Nice and soft, yet made a great sandwich. Yes I will make it often.
