Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.33 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Quick oats
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Extra quick oats (for topping)
• 1 tablespoon Extra honey (for brushing, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the honey, milk, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Incorporate the quick oats, all-purpose flour, and whole wheat flour gradually into the liquid mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add flour if necessary to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 7

Lightly brush the top of the dough with water or a small amount of honey. Sprinkle the extra quick oats over the top for decoration.

Step 8

Cover the loaf pan with a clean towel and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes, or until the dough has risen just above the rim of the pan.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and immediately brush the top with a thin layer of honey, if desired, for extra sweetness and shine.

Step 12

Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
