Honey Buttermilk Oatbread Recipes

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:

• In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Combine buttermilk, butter, honey and the yeast mixture in a large mixing bowl. Add salt and two cups of the flour. Whisk well to combine. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well with a wooden spoon after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 6 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees F).
• 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 with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 30 minutes or until the tops are golden and the bottoms of the loaves sound hollow when tapped.

Steps:

• 1. Combine 1/2 cup of warm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar in a small bowl. Stir to dissolve yeast, and let sit for approx. 10 minutes or until foamy.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining warm water, buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir until combined.
• 3. Add 2 cups of flour and mix well. Continue to beat the mixture for 2 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
• 4. Add additional flour in 1/2 cup increments, stirring well after each addition, until the dough holds together and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
• 5. Switch from paddle attachment to the dough hook. Knead in the remaining flour adding a few tablespoons at a time, until smooth and the dough no longer sticks to your finger when touched. Continue to knead for approximately 5 minutes.
• 6. Lightly grease a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat.
• 7. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or towel. Let the dough rise at room temp until doubled, about 1 and 1/2 hours.
• 8. Turn dough out onto a work surface and divide in half.
• 9. Grease 2 loaf pans (9x5) with butter and set aside. Form loaves, I usually roll them out on a floured surface, and roll tightly. Place each loaf seam side down in the pans.
• 10. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a towel.
• 11. Allow to rise at room temp until doubled again; about 30 minutes.
• 12. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 40-45 minutes or until loaves look deep golden brown.
• 13. Cool slightly and remove from pans. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Stir yeast into warm water, set aside to bubble up.
• Lightly grease a large bowl (for rising), set aside. Lightly grease a loaf pan (preferably pale aluminum), set aside.
• Boil a kettle of water (for rising), then keep on simmer.
• Blend/grind half of the rolled oats into a fine oat flour (easy in a Nutri-Bullet.) Reserve the balance intact.
• Warm the buttermilk and melt the butter, then combine with salt, sugar, honey and the unground oats. (See OPTIONAL below. you may want to reserve 1 rounded Tbsp of rolled oats for the loaf's crust.).
• Add yeast, ground oats and flour; knead until smooth. (For me, that's about 8 minutes with the Kitchen Aid, or 12 minutes by hand.).
• Place dough in greased bowl to rise. Set (uncovered) in closed oven with an open kettle of boiled water. Don't turn on oven. Leave to rise for 1 hour.
• After the hour, reboil kettle of water.
• Form a loaf, place in greased pan. Again, set to rise (uncovered) in closed oven with an open kettle of boiled water. Don't turn on oven. Leave to rise for 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
• Remove dough and kettle from oven. Preheat oven to 350°.
• Bake in preheated oven for approximately 55 minutes total (+/- 5 min), lightly tenting with aluminum foil after 30-40 minutes to keep top from over-browning. The bread is done when its top is golden-brown and its center temperature is 190°.
• OPTIONAL: Just before baking, brush the top of the loaves with an egg white beaten with 1 Tbsp cold water. Sprinkle with 1 rounded Tbsp rolled oats (unground).
• NOTE: If you can't grind/blend the rolled oats, substitute 1 cup oat flour (or any flour) for the 1 cup of ground rolled oats in step #6.
• NOTE: This is my adaptation of a recipe from King Arthur Flour: KAF "Vermont Whole Wheat Oatmeal Honey Bread." The main difference being that I replaced water and whole wheat flour with buttermilk and oat flour. Both recipes use whole rolled oats, but I've doubled it's proportion.

Steps:

• Lightly spray two small or one large loaf pan with non stick cooking spray or coat with melted butter.
• Set them on a baking sheet and set aside.
• In a kitchen aid mixing bowl, hand whisk the water, yeast and sugar together and let stand for 2 minutes.
• Stir in buttermilk, butter, honey, salt and half the flour.
• Stir with a wooden spoon.
• Fit machine with a dough hook, then kneading, add in more flour as required to make a soft, but firm dough, about 8- 10 minutes.
• Cover lightly with plastic wrap and let rise 45- 90 minutes until doubled in size.
• Gently deflate dough and divide into two or keep as one loaf.
• Shape into oblongs and place in prepared loaf pans.
• Insert loaf pans into a large plastic bag and let rise until doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.
• Glaze well with a beaten egg.
• (You can also brush loaf with melted butter).
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place breads in oven and bake about 45 minutes until well browned.
• Turn breads out onto a cooling rack and cool well before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. and grease a 8 inch square baking pan.
• Sift the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt together.
• In a seperate bowl mix the egg, buttermilk oil and honey.
• Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients.
• Beat until smooth.
• Pour into pan.
• Bake 20 minutes edges may start to brown a little.
