Whole Wheat Oat Bread

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 40 min. + cooling YIELD: 2 loaves (16 pieces each).
There's nothing like the taste and aroma of homemade bread. A friend gave me this whole wheat oat bread recipe for a wedding gift. It was originally a family recipe passed down from her grandmother and now it's a staple in our house, too. The best part? It contains lots of healthy ingredients. —Amy Morrison, Derry, New Hampshire

Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups water
  • 1 cup fat-free milk
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1-1/4 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 4 to 5 cups bread flour
  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) quick-rise yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 cups whole grain spelt flour or whole wheat flour

Directions

  • 1. In a saucepan, heat water, milk, oil, honey and molasses to a simmer; stir in oats. Remove from heat; cool mixture to 120°-130°. In a large bowl, mix 4 cups bread flour, yeast and salt. Stir in cooled oat mixture. Stir in spelt flour and enough remaining bread flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  • 2. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
  • 3. Divide dough in half. Roll each into a 12x8-in. rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam and ends to seal. Place in 2 greased 9x5-in. loaf pans, seam side down.
  • 4. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°.
  • 5. Bake until golden brown, 40-45 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks; cool completely.
