Oatmeal Multigrain Bread is a wholesome and flavorful loaf that combines hearty oats with a variety of grains and seeds. This bread offers a soft crumb with a slightly nutty taste, perfect for sandwiches, toast, or enjoying plain.

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
    2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
    2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
    1 cup rolled oats (plus extra for topping)
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 cup bread flour
    1/4 cup flaxseeds or sunflower seeds
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm water, honey, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine oats, whole wheat flour, bread flour, seeds, and salt.
  2. Combine and Knead: Add dry ingredients and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. First Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  4. Shape and Second Rise: Punch down dough, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle oats on top. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  1. Include chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  2. Add raisins or dried cranberries for a touch of sweetness.
  3. Try sesame or poppy seeds on top for variety.
  4. Substitute flours with gluten-free blends and adjust liquids for gluten-free option.
  5. Store bread in an airtight container or bread box at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  6. Slice and freeze bread in zip-top bags for up to 3 months.
  7. Toast slices or warm in the oven before serving.
  8. Cinnamon or nutmeg add warm spice flavors.
