Ingredients

• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 0.5 cup Milk (lukewarm)
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Rolled oats (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm water, lukewarm milk, honey, and instant yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy, indicating the yeast is active.

Step 2

Add the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, softened butter, and salt to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes by hand or 5–6 minutes in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time as needed.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a tight log and place it seam-side down into the prepared pan.

Step 6

Cover the loaf with plastic wrap or a towel and let it rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the dough has risen about 1 inch above the rim of the pan.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the top of the loaf with water and sprinkle with the additional rolled oats for a decorative touch.

Step 8

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 on the bottom.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
