Oatmeal Bread (Bread Machine/Bread Maker)

"I love this recipe. The oats give it a really good taste, and I use wheat flour for some wheat taste. If you don't enjoy wheat flour, you can use all white flour and it is still delicious. I use my bread maker to make the dough, then form it into a loaf. You don't have to use a bread machine, I've done it by hand; the machine just makes it quicker with kids in the kitchen under my feet. Preparation time includes the bread machine dough cycle, mine is about one hour."

  • Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes, depending on your oven.
  • After removing from oven, lightly spread melted butter on the top crust with pastry brush (optional; gives it a nice look and flavor).

  1. I love this bread! I have tried lots of bread machine recipes recently and this so far is my favorite! I do not like sweet sandwich bread so I decreased the honey to 1 T and left the salt as called for in the recipe. Next time I will add some sunflower seeds for some crunch. It was just to my liking for sandwiches, a hint of salt and not too sweet. I might make it with all the honey if I was going to use it for french toast or something, though. Excellent bread. Oh yeah, I didn't bake it in the oven--I don't have time for that last step, so I just baked it in the bread machine and the crust turned out crispy. Yum!
     
  2. I was wanting some homemade bread so, started to do a search that would use the ingredients I had on hand.When I came across this one, and decided to make it.Since wheat bread isn't a particular favorite around here,all white flour was used.After reading CarrolJ's review the salt was reduced to 1 teaspoon and continued on with the recipe as it was written.After placing in the prepared loaf pan,I let it rise for 1 hour and it just rose wonderfully. Baked at the temp. suggested in Step 3 for about 30 minutes and it was perfect.Thank you for posting a recipe that will be made again." Keep Smiling :) "
     
  3. I was a little disappointed in this recipe although I think i know why. It tasted a little salty to me. I love salt...but I discovered not in bread. Next time I will decrease the salt to using only 1 teaspoon. I think that perhaps the baking soda + 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt caused the problem. I also used all bread flour since I don't care for the taste of wheat flour. I will make this recipe again and hope for better results.
     
  4. Excellent bread. I used a stand mixer and put an egg-wash on the loaf with oatmeal flakes before baking. Outstanding taste.
     
  5. This is wonderful! I made the dough in the machine and then baked in the oven (first time I have not let it bake in the machine, but I do have to admit, the texture when it comes out is not nearly as good as when it goes into the oven! I am a convert) I used the milk and lemon juice as buttermilk substitute, and otherwise followed the recipe to a T, using King Arthur Flour. I accidentally let it rise an additional cycle because I forgot the dough, but it came out gorgeous and springy - I'll add the extra rise in every time! Spread some butter on top when it came out for some sheen. What a gorgeous loaf - I can't stop eating it! Man cannot live on bread alone? I think not!

  1. Amazing bread!! I made it by hand, because I don't have a bread machine. Instead of honey I used agave nectar, and also I used milk and lime juice instead of buttermilk, and turns out wonderful. Thanks for the recipe, this one is a keeper.
     
  2. What a wonderful bread. It looks fabulous, smells delicious, makes great toast -- I don't have a bread machine and substituted 1/4 cup melted butter for the oil, but it turned out perfectly by hand and I will make it often. Thank you!
