Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Nutty Oat Whole Wheat Bread.
Step 1
Start by warming the milk in a small saucepan, ensuring it doesn't exceed 100°F (40°C). Once warmed, sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it softens and forms a creamy foam. Stir in the sugar to activate the yeast.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oatmeal, and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the milk mixture. Gently stir until the dough begins to come together.
Step 3
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. This is where the magic happens, as your hands work the dough into a beautiful texture!
Step 4
Lightly oil a large bowl and place the kneaded dough inside, turning it to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with a light cloth and let it rise in a warm spot (ideally between 80°F to 95°F) until it doubles in size, which should take about 45 minutes.
Step 5
While the dough is rising, grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans. Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and turn it out onto a floured surface. Use a knife to divide the dough into two equal pieces, being careful not to tear it. Shape each piece into a round and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Now, form the dough into loaves and place them into the prepared pans. Cover them with a damp cloth and let them rise again until they double in size, which should take about 40 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) during this time.
Step 7
Once the loaves have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped. Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
