How to Bake Oatmeal Bread With Honey Using a Bread Machine

Baking oatmeal bread with honey using a bread machine is a simple and delicious way to enjoy freshly baked bread at home. Here are the steps to follow:

Ingredients: - 1 cup old-fashioned oats - 1 1/4 cups water - 1/4 cup honey - 2 tablespoons butter, softened - 1 teaspoon salt - 3 cups bread flour - 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Instructions:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the oats and water. Microwave for 1 minute and let it cool to room temperature. 2. Once the oats have cooled, add them to the bread machine pan, along with the honey, softened butter, salt, bread flour, and active dry yeast. Make sure to add the ingredients in the order recommended by your bread machine's manufacturer. 3. Select the "Basic" or "Whole Wheat" setting on your bread machine and start the machine. You can also use the "Dough" setting if you prefer to shape the bread by hand and bake it in the oven. 4. Once the bread machine has finished its cycle, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Enjoy your freshly baked oatmeal bread with honey as is or toasted with your favorite spread.
