Honey Oatmeal Bread
I baked my family's bread for years and have tried multiple recipes, but I always gravitate back to Honey Oatmeal Bread. So delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cup boiling water
- 2 cup quick oats
- 2 tbsp yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 cup honey
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 Nature's Yoke eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp salt
- 8 cup flour (best to use at least 2 cups of whole wheat flour)
Instructions
- Pour boiling water over the oatmeal and set aside. Cool until lukewarm.
- Dissolve yeast in the warm water. Set aside.
- Mix together the honey, oil, eggs and salt, then add the yeast mixture. Add this mixture to the softened oatmeal.
- Add the desired amount of whole wheat flour then knead in enough white flour to make a spongy dough that is not sticky. Let rise until double in size.
- Knead and let rise again to double. Shape into five loaves, place in greased bread pans and let rise again. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25-30 minutes, depending on loaf size.

Five loaves is a bit much for my husband and me. How could I make two?
The bread was very tasty, but there is something wrong with this recipe. Since I didn’t get a reply to my previous comment, I finally determined the weight of each ingredient by grams and divided it so I could make two loaves. There is way too much liquid in this recipe. This dough was more like biscuit dough! I ended up adding quite a bit more flour, almost 2 cups!! Is that the caveat of step #3, saying add the “desired amount” of flour? Shouldn’t the stated 8 cups be enough? I have added small amounts of flour to bread recipes so the dough can be handled and kneaded. This was not a small amount.
