Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup boiling water
- 0.33 cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2.25 teaspoons dry active yeast
- 0.25 cup warm water (about 105°F/40°C)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing the bowl)
Directions
Step 1
1. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and boiling water. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes to soften the oats.
Step 2
2. Add maple syrup, unsalted butter, and salt to the oat mixture. Stir until the butter is melted. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
Step 3
3. In a small bowl, combine the warm water and dry active yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until the mixture is frothy.
Step 4
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm oat mixture and the yeast mixture.
Step 5
5. Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour, one cup at a time, until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 6
6. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 7
7. Lightly grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to coat in the oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 1–1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 8
8. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 9
9. Cover the loaf pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 30–45 minutes, or until the dough has risen just above the edges of the pan.
Step 10
