Oatmeal Bread Recipe

This oatmeal bread is made with simple pantry ingredients: rolled oats, AP flour, instant yeast, and is great for toast. It’s one of my favorite easy sandwich breads to bake at home.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup rolled oats plus extra for topping
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature, sliced into 4 pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for coating bowl
  • 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water, for eggwash

Instructions

  • Place the milk in a microwave-safe medium bowl and microwave until hot. Add the oats over the hot milk, stir, and let cool to room temperature.
  • Combine warm water, honey, salt, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes or until foamy.
  • Add the cooled oat mixture, flour, and butter to the yeast mixture. Knead with a dough hook on medium low speed for 6-8 minutes until smooth. Sprinkle in extra flour if needed.
  • Place the dough in a clean bowl coated with oil, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside. Transfer the dough to a clean surface and flatten it into a 14 x 10-inch rectangle, roll into a cylinder, and place seam-side down in the loaf pan. Cover with plastic and let it rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the top of the dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with extra oats. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for 50-55 minutes until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped or reaches an internal temperature of 210°F.
  • Remove the bread from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

Storage: Wrapped in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container, this fresh bread will last about 3 days at room temperature.
