A delightful homemade bread recipe featuring honey and oats for a wholesome and flavorful loaf.
Add the warm water, honey, and salt to the bread machine pan.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Sprinkle the oats over the liquid mixture.
Use rolled oats for a softer texture in the bread.
Add the bread flour on top of the oats, ensuring it covers the liquid completely.
This helps separate the yeast from the liquid until mixing begins.
Make a small well in the flour and add the yeast.
Avoid letting the yeast touch the liquid before the machine starts.
Select the basic bread cycle on your bread machine and start.
Check the dough after 5 minutes of kneading to ensure it forms a smooth ball. Adjust with water or flour if needed.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
