This has happened to be the bread of my home in the recent times. I am making this quite often as I have fallen in love with this bread and how oats is giving its texture and the honey giving it the subtle flavor.

You can use this dough to make different shapes. I also make burger buns out of these and they are yum. You can make your dinner rolls spreading with choice of filling inside, even a simple butter, garlic and salt.

1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degree C. Line up a 9 inch by 12 inch loaf pan with butter paper with extra paper hanging out of the pan.

2. Add all-purpose flour, oats, instant yeast, salt and milk powder in the bowl of your electric beater. Beat the dry ingredients in slow speed to mix them all together.

3. Add milk, water, butter and honey in a saucepan and heat up until it reaches lukewarm. Stir until the butter is completely melted.

4. Check for the temperature of the liquid mixture. Touch the liquid mixture and wait for 5 seconds. If the 5th second is the maximum heat you can bear, then it’s the right temperature. If it’s too hot and unbearable, then the liquid will kill your yeast. If it’s easy to bear, then it wont activate your yeast. So keep a check on the right temperature.
Pour the liquid mixture gently as you keep beating the dry ingredients. If using hands to knead, make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour the liquid mixture and start to knead.

5. Beat on medium speed until the wet and dry ingredients are combined and the dough starts to come together.

6. Continue to beat on medium high speed for about 10 minutes. If kneading by hand, knead for 15 to 20 minutes until the dough is shiny.

7. Transfer the dough in a bowl coated with oil. Turn the dough once to coat oil all over the dough.

8. Cover with a damp cloth and leave it aside for 1 hour until double in volume.

9. Punch or knock down the dough to release all the air. Transfer dough onto your working counter or a mat.

10.Roll it gently into a rectangle. If sticky dust the counter with all-purpose flour.

11. Roll it into a log shape.

12. Gently transfer the log shaped dough into the loaf pan and cover with damp cloth and set it aside for 20 minutes until double in volume.

13. Use a pastry brush and apply the warm honey on top.

14. Sprinkle oats on top. Bake in pre-heated oven at 180 degree c for 25 minutes, until the top of the bread is golden brown and you knock down the bottom of the loaf pan you hear it hollow.

15. Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes. Pull the butter paper that’s hanging out. Peel off butter paper and let it come down to complete room temperature.

Slice and keep in airtight container. It is ready to be served.

They make amazing french toast. A simple jam and butter. The burger buns and garlic rolls as I said are also a great choice. What I have been doing is, to transfer these into ziplock in smaller portions and freeze it. Use them over a period of one week. Microwave each time and get it back to its soft texture and then again make anything I want out of it. This is a breeze according to me and my kids have finally accepted my breads are consistently awesome Go find your yeast. Right away !!
