Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Additional rolled oats (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves.

Step 2

Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water-honey mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.

Step 3

Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and salt to the bowl. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Drizzle in the olive oil and mix thoroughly to form a shaggy dough.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding small amounts of flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Brush the top of the dough with a little water and sprinkle with the additional rolled oats for topping.

Step 9

Cover the loaf pan loosely with a towel and let the dough rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until it reaches the top of the pan.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 12

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
