A delightful homemade bread recipe combining the natural sweetness of honey with the wholesome goodness of oats and raisins.
Add the warm water, honey, softened butter, salt, and bread flour into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Sprinkle the yeast on top of the flour, ensuring it does not come into contact with the salt.
Keeping the yeast separate from the salt helps maintain its activity.
Set the bread machine to the basic cycle and medium crust setting, then press start.
Check the dough after a few minutes of mixing to ensure the consistency is correct; it should form a smooth ball.
When the machine signals, add the oats and raisins to the dough.
Adding the oats and raisins later prevents them from being overmixed or crushed.
Once the baking cycle is complete, remove the bread from the pan and cool it on a wire rack.
Allowing the bread to cool completely helps it set and makes slicing easier.
Slice and serve the bread as desired, enjoying it fresh or toasted.
This bread is delicious with a spread of butter or jam.
