Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make New England Brown Bread Loaf.
Step 1
Begin by pouring 1 cup of water into your bread machine, followed by 1 tablespoon of molasses, a splash of vegetable oil, a sprinkle of white sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Next, add 1 cup of quick-cooking oats, a generous amount of bread flour, and finally, the bread machine yeast, layering the ingredients in the order specified.
Step 3
Set your bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and let it work its magic.
Step 4
Once the cycle is complete, gently remove the dough and shape it into a round loaf, tucking the ends neatly underneath for a smooth finish.
Step 5
Transfer the loaf to a baking sheet and cover it loosely with lightly oiled plastic wrap, allowing it to rise until it becomes delightfully puffy, which should take about 30 minutes.
Step 6
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
When the dough has risen to perfection, uncover it and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of quick-cooking oats on top for added texture.
Step 8
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 9
Enjoy the satisfaction of homemade bread that’s perfect for any occasion.
