Homemade Oatmeal Bread (A Recipe From My Bakery)

In this video I demonstrated how to make homemade oatmeal bread from a recipe I developed for my bakery. It's scaled down to two loaves. I walk viewers through the process, step-by-step, to take the mystery out of dealing with yeast doughs. It's really not hard! Give it a try and let me know below how your bread turns out! Judi

Oatmeal Bread
Makes 2 Loaves

1-1/2 c boiling water
1-1/2 c quick oats
1-1/2 oz (3 Tbsp) butter
1/4 c honey
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tsp potato starch
1 lb 4 oz (4 cups) bread flour
1/2 oz RapidRise yeast
2 eggs
Melted butter

In a saucepan, heat water to boiling. Meanwhile, place oats, butter, honey, brown sugar, salt and potato starch in a mixer bowl. Add hot water; mix with a paddle until well blended and temperature reduces to 120-130F. Change mixer paddle to a dough hook. Add flour, yeast and eggs; mix on low speed to combine all ingredients. Continue mixing on low to medium speed for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove bowl from mixer, lightly coat dough with nonstick spray, cover and allow dough to rest for 10 minutes.

On a lightly floured board, divide dough into two pieces. Form each piece into a loaf and place each in a greased loaf pan. Place in an oven proof box (see video) or spray with nonstick spray, cover with waxed paper and a towel and allow dough to rise ON (not in) a warm oven for about 30 minutes. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from pans and place on a wire rack. Brush tops with melted butter. Allow bread to cool before cutting.
