Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 2-1/4 tsp 1 envelope active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water or milk
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp butter softened or canola oil
- 1-1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup oat or wheat bran
- 2 to 3 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
- Additional oats and bran for the top
Instructions
- Combine 1/4 cup warm water, the sugar, and the yeast in a small bowl and set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, butter or spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and oil a bowl for the dough.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the warm water, honey, butter, and salt. Stir in the yeast, then add the whole-wheat flour, oats, and bran. Beat in the bread flour until the dough pulls away from the bowl.
- Turn it out onto a lightly floured counter and knead for 5 minutes, adding as much of the remaining flour as it will hold and still be a little tacky. Put the dough in the oiled bowl, turn it once, then cover and set aside until doubled in bulk, about an hour.
- Push down the dough, then shape it into a loaf. Roll it into a mixture of bran and oats to coat the top, then set it in a 5- x 9-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise until again doubled, about 35 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F .
- Bake for 45 minutes or until the bread pulls slightly away from the sides of the pan.
