Equipment

  • Stand Mixer

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup All purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cup Whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup Oats (Instant or Old Fashioned)
  • 1 tbsp instant yeast
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup lukewarm
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup molasses or honey

Instructions

  • Using your standing mixer bowl, combine flour, oats, yeast and salt.
  • In another bowl, add in your warm milk, softened butter or shortening and stirring it while adding lukewarm water and molasses or honey.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture. Mixing it using the dough hook. Knead with the mixer for 7-10 minutes until your dough is soft and elastic. If you find that your dough is still wet and sticky after 5 minutes of kneading, add more flour. Just 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is almost tacky.
  • Prepare a lightly oiled bowl and place the dough into the bowl, cover and allow to rise until double in size.
  • Once doubled, place the dough on a clean, dry work surface. If you find that your dough is still sticky, lightly flour the surface before continuing.
  • Grease your pan, and sprinkle oats to the sides and bottom of the pan.
    Using 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pan, divide the dough into 2 equal size. Flatten the dough and tightly roll the dough, tucking the ends as needed into a loaf. Place your dough into your prepared pan, then sprinkle some oats on top of it.
  • Cover and allow it to rise until double in size.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees or 180 C
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

FLOUR : If you don't have whole wheat flour you can just use All purpose flour or vice  versa. But if you have both, just follow the ingredients.
OAT : You can use either instant, quick cooking or old fashioned.
MILK : I'm using Almond milk, but feel free to use 2%, oat milk or evaporated milk. 
MOLASSES or HONEY : You can use whatever you prefer or whatever you have in your cupboard, your bread will still come out tasty.
BUTTER or SHORTENING : I tried using both, your bread comes out soft. With shortening, the softness of your bread will last longer.
