Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup warm milk (240 ml)
  • 1/4 cup warm water (60 ml)
  • 1/4 cup honey (60 ml) plus 1 tablespoon for yeast mixture
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (60 ml)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (375 g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Soften the oats: In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats with warm milk. Let sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid and soften thoroughly.
  2. Activate the yeast: In another bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes bubbly and foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: Add the softened oats, melted butter, and the remaining honey to the yeast mixture. Stir until everything is well blended.
  4. Add dry ingredients and form dough: Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If sticky, add flour one tablespoon at a time to adjust.
  6. First rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 to 1.5 hours until it doubles in size.
  7. Shape and second rise: Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan and allow it to rise again for 30-40 minutes until slightly puffed.
  8. Bake the bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.
  9. Cool and serve: Remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack before slicing to ensure the texture sets properly.

Notes

  • For a softer crust, brush the freshly baked loaf with melted butter immediately after removing from the oven.
  • If your kitchen is chilly, place the dough to rise in the oven with just the oven light turned on to maintain a warm environment.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature for best results.
