Whole Wheat Honey Oatmeal Bread
2 c boiling water
1 c old-fashioned oats
1/2 c honey
1/4 c butter
1 T kosher salt
1 t cinnamon
Mix together and let sit until lukewarm (not too long--warmth helps the yeast).
Mix in
1 T yeast
1 1/2 c white whole wheat flour
4 c unbleached all-purpose flour
***Here I also add 1/4 c flax seed, 1/4 c sunflower seeds and 1 c walnuts.
Knead (I use the dough hook on my mixer) 5-7 minutes (10 minutes if by hand).
Oil bowl and surface of dough lightly, cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Place in greased pans (I use one 13" Pullman pan; otherwise use two regular loaf pans), cover and let rise, 60-90 minutes.
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Tent lightly with foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent over browning. Cool on a wire rack.
