Homemade Honey Oat Bread Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, or the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the flour, oats, yeast, and salt.
• In a small bowl, or two cup (450 ml) measuring cup, warm the milk so that it's hot enough to melt the butter, but not boiling. Add the butter, stirring until melted, then stir in the water and honey.
• Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, mixing with a dough hook until it just comes together to form a dough. Knead in the mixer, with the dough hook attachment, for 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic (if you're making this recipe by hand, the dough will be very sticky at first; flour your hands and work surface generously and be patient). If the dough is still very wet and sticky after 5 minutes of kneading, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is barely tacky. If the dough is too dry, add water, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) at a time, to soften it up.
• Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise until doubled, about 1/2 to 1 hour.
• Once doubled, place the dough on a clean, dry work surface. If the dough is too sticky, lightly flour the surface before continuing. With your fingers, flatten the dough into a 9 by 12-inch rectangle. Tightly roll the dough, tucking the ends as needed, into a loaf. Place the shaped dough into a 9×5-inch loaf pan, cover with a clean dry towl, and allow to rise until doubled, about 1/2 to 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (180 C). Place an empty loaf pan on the bottom rack of the oven and bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
• When the loaf is doubled again, brush the top with the warmed honey and sprinkle with the oats.
• Place the bread in the oven and pour the boiling water into the empty loaf pan on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the bread is deep golden brown and the internal temperature is about 190 degrees.
• Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in breadmaker per your manufacturer's instructions.
• You can replace 2 cups white bread flour with 2 cups whole wheat flour but include 1 tbsp vital wheat gluten (the original recipe suggested this).
• Makes a moist, sweet loaf.
• NOTE: cook time is for the basic/white cycle (medium crust; 1½ lb loaf) using a BreadmanPlus bread machine; your machine may differ.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine boiling water, oats, 1/2 cup honey, butter and salt. Let stand for 1 hour.
• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Pour the yeast mixture into the oat mixture. Add 2 cups of flour; mix well. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 20 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove loaves from pans, brush tops of loaves with 2 tablespoons honey and sprinkle with oats.

Steps:

• Put oats, honey, salt, and butter (if using) into a large bowl. Pour boiling water over and let sit till barely warm.
• Add yeast and flour, mixing well.
• Turn out onto floured counter and knead for 5 minutes. Add flour as necessary because this can be a sticky dough due to the honey and oats.
• Put dough back into bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise for 1 hour.
• Turn dough out onto floured counter, punch down, divide into 2 loaves.
• Place loaves on a lightly greased cookie sheet (or 1/2 sheet pan), cover with cloth again and let rise for 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, brush loaves with milk and sprinkle with oats (if desired), and bake for 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Position rack in middle of over and preheat to 375 degrees.
• Generously coat a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon oats in the pan, coating the sides and bottom with the oats.
• Thouroughly stir together whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
• Using a fork, beat together 1 cup of oats, yogurt, egg, oil and honey in a medium bowl until well blended.
• Stir in milk.
• Gently stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture just until thoroughly incoporated but not overmixed (excess mixing can cause toughening).
• Immedieatley scrape the batter into the pan, spreading evenly to the edges.
• Sprinkle the reserved 1 Tablespoon oats over the top of loaf.
• Bake the loaf until well browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 - 50 minutes. (It's normal for the top to crack).
• Let stand in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a table knife around and under the loaf to loosen it and turn it outo the rack.
• Let cool until barely warm, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available. Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

Steps:

• Place ingredient in the order for your particular bread machine.
• I fix this on my dough cycle, put in a loaf pan, let rise and bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Choose a pot that fits the ham with enough space on top to close its lid and with space between the ham and the sides. Combine the wine, juniper berries, peppercorns, cloves and 2 tablespoons honey in the pot, and mix well. Arrange the onion in the center to form a rack for the ham and place the ham on top, flat side down. It should sit just above the wine.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer, basting after 15 minutes, until the ham is heated through, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil. Combine the brown sugar, mustard and remaining tablespoon honey in a small bowl.
• Carefully transfer the ham to the foil-lined pan using 2 sturdy metal spatulas. The slices should have fanned open. If they haven't, separate the slices, nudging them into a pretty arrangement. Add 1 tablespoon cooking liquid from the pot to the brown sugar mixture and stir until smooth. (Save the remaining cooking liquid for stews or braises.) Pour over the ham, spreading evenly all over the top and not letting too much spill onto the foil. Fold up the sides of the foil to form a little boat to hold any ham juices.
• Bake just until the topping is crackling and caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully transfer to a serving platter with the spatulas, then pour the juices from the foil all over the ham. Serve immediately, with the onions from the pot, if you'd like.

Steps:

• Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, which is usually in the order given, being careful that the yeast doesn't come in contact with the salt.
