WHO bread

Wheat, Honey, Oat bread
Takes about 2 1/2 hours from start to finish. Only makes one large, delicious loaf.
When toasted the cinnamon in this bread will make your home smell oh so delicious. :)

1 1/4 cup warm water
2 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons butter (softened to room temp)
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour (any combo of white/wheat will do)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 1/4 teaspoon (or one package) active dry yeast

Pour 1 1/4 cup warm water (about 110 degrees F), honey, sugar, and yeast into a bowl. Whisk until well combined and mixture is frothy. Set aside to proof while you mix together the other ingredients.

In separate large bowl (your mixing bowl if you have a stand mixer) stir together flour, butter, salt, rolled oats and cinnamon.

Pour yeast mixture into flour mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.

Place dough into a lightly oiled bread pan. Cover with a damp towel and leave in a warm spot to rise for about an hour. Punch down dough (I thought this weird to do while actually IN the bread pan but I did it anyway, it worked) and let rise a second time for 45 minutes, covered with a damp towel.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove towel from top of dough and place pan in center of the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Enjoy!
