100% Whole Wheat Honey Oats Bread

This was pending since long!

Oats, Honey and Whole Wheat - Just a perfect combination to have it and makes life super healthy :) After looking to many recipes, thought of mixing it all and create my own :) :) Basic Whole Wheat Bread Recipe is here

Let's quickly look at Ingredients:

• 3 cups - Whole Wheat Flour (I used King Arthur's Whole Wheat Flour)
• 2 1/4 tsp - Instant Yeast 
• 4 tbsp - Rolled Oats
• 2 tbsp - Flax Seeds (Dissolve flax ground flax seeds in 3 tbsp of water)
• 2 tbsp - Sugar
• 2 1/2 tbsp - Milk  Powder
• 2 tsp - Salt
• 1 1/4 cup - Lukewarm Milk 
• 2 tbsp - Honey
• 4 tbsp - Melted Butter

Method:

1. Proof the yeast in half cup of milk adding sugar and honey into it. Keep it aside for 10 -12 minutes until it gets frothy or foams up. 
2. Meanwhile, work on the flour mixture (Flour, Oats, Milk Powder and salt)
3. Once the Yeast Mixture gets foams up, add it in the flour. Start Kneading the dough by adding the rest of the lukewarm milk into the dough. 
4. At first, dough will be very sticky, add butter at this time but later it will be spring like dough! Keep kneading it for at least 15 minutes. 
5. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for around 1 hour 30 minutes for the rise. 
6. Once it is doubled in the size, punch it down, knead it for 2 minutes and then place it in a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle some oats and flax seeds (Optional) on the top of the bread and give a little bit of milk wash. 
7. Cover the dough again with a damp cloth for around 45 minutes. 

2nd Rise

• Once 10 minutes are remaining, Preheat the oven at 375 F
• Place the loaf pan for 30 minutes. 

And Taaadaaaaa... Bread is ready :) Place it down in the cooling rack and then cut it into the pieces.

Till then,

Happy Baking :)
