honey oat bread

As you may know, I've been experimenting with my bread recipe and came up with this variation. It turned out really well and I will be making it again for sure!

Ingredients

• 2 cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons yeast
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup wheat germ
• 1 cup oat flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 egg
• 1/4cup oil
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups whole wheat flour

Directions

1. Mix warm water, yeast, sugar, and honey
   
2. Proof yeast
3. Add salt, wheat germ, oat flour, whole wheat flour (just 1 cup)
4. Mix well
5. Add egg and oil
6. Add oats and remaining whole wheat flour (gradually)
7. Let rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour
8. Sprinkle a bit of flour on a clean counter
9. Divide dough in half
10. Shape into 2 bread loves and place in bread pans
11. Let rise another 30 minutes to 1 hour
12. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes

I like to double the recipe and make 4 loaves, 1 for now and 3 in the freezer. I just place the individual loaves in a gallon size Ziploc bag.
