Buttermilk Oat And Honey Bread Food

BUTTERMILK HONEY BREAD

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.

BUTTERMILK OATMEAL BREAD

Steps:

• Sprinkle the yeast over the water in a small bowl; do not stir; set aside for at least 5 minutes to proof to a foamy consistency.
• Stir together the flour, oats, sugar and salt in a large bowl; add the butter, buttermilk and yeast mixture and beat with an electric mixer until the ingredients are well blended.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Lightly oil a large bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl; cover with a tea towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until it is doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Pun the dough down and let it rise again, covered with a tea towel, for 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350° and oil a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
• Punch the dough down again and place it in the loaf pan; bake for 35-40 minutes or till the loaf pulls away from the side of the pan and loaf sounds hollow when you thump it.

BUTTERMILK OAT BREAD

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.

BUTTERMILK, OAT AND HONEY BREAD

Steps:

• Put ingredients on bread machine in the order your machine manual suggests( I use the order listed above).
• Set the machine to the whole wheat cycle, and set crust color to light(trust me on this, the honey in the dough browns really easily.) This recipe makes a 2 lb loaf.
• Let her rip!
• During the kneading cycle, check the consistency of the doughball-it should be smooth, and when you touch it, you should not come away with any dough residue on your fingers. If its too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time. If its too wet, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time.

OAT AND WALNUT BUTTERMILK BRAID

Steps:

• Stir warm water and honey in large bowl to blend. Sprinkle yeast over. Let stand until foamy, about 8 minutes. Heat buttermilk in small saucepan to lukewarm (about 100°F.). Stir into yeast mixture. Add 2 cups bread flour, 2 cups oats, wheat flour, oil and salt and stir until smooth. Gradually mix in enough remaining bread flour to form dough. Cover and let dough rest 15 minutes.
• Turn out dough onto floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, Adding more bread flour if sticky, about 10 minutes. Knead in nuts. Oil large bowl. Add dough; turn to coat. Cover bowl with clean towel; let rise in warm area until doubled, about 50 minutes.
• Oil large baking sheet. Punch down dough. Turn out onto oiled surface; knead briefly. Divide dough into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into 16-inch-long rope. Braid ropes together; tuck ends under and pinch to seal. Transfer to prepared sheet. Cover with clean towel. Let rise in warm area until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk egg and milk in bowl. Brush loaf generously with some of egg mixture. Sprinkle with additional oats. Bake until golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap tightly; store at room temperature.)

WHOLE WHEAT OATMEAL BUTTERMILK BREAD

Steps:

• Fit a kneader blade on a heavy-duty stand mixer.
• Proof 1 tablespoon yeast in 3/4 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar for 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
• In the stainless steel mixing bowl add in 2 cups EACH white and whole wheat bread flour and the rolled oats; mix slightly to combine with a spoon.
• In the microwave warm the buttermilk, butter, 3 tablespoons sugar and 1-1/2 teaspoons salt for about 40 seconds until warm (the butter does not have to melt completely) then pour into the stainless steel mixing bowl with the flour.
• After the yeast is proofed, add into the bowl along with the 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and start mixing/kneading adding in more WHITE flour as needed to create a soft semi-sticky dough (because of the oatmeal and whole wheat flour the dough will be more sticky than usual).
• Knead for 10 minutes.
• Remove the dough to a lightly-floured surface; cover with a clean tea towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Gather up the dough and knead gently for about 15 seconds with your hands (it will come together nicely).
• Generously grease a large bowl with oil.
• Place the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel and let rise for about 1 hour and 15 minutes (it might take more or less time depending on the temperature of your kitchen, or place in a warmed oven to rise).
• Remove and punch down dough.
• Place on a floured surface and roll out to about 14x8 inches (does not have to be exact size!).
• Roll up tightly and tuck the sides under to fit the 8x4-inch loaf pan (I just slice off the ends of the dough enough to fit into the pan and pinch the dough together, it makes for a more even loaf).
• Cover and let rise for about 30-45 minutes (depending on how warm your kitchen is) in a warm place covered with a clean tea towel.
• Bake for about 30 minutes in a 375°F oven.

BUCKWHEAT, OAT, HONEY WHEAT SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• Mix warm water, yeast, honey, buttermilk, salt, oil together.
• Mix all flours and buckwheat together.
• Add half the flour mix to the wet mix and blend on a low speed of your mixer until combined
• Add the second half of the flour mixture a cup at a time until completely blended. You may need a little more or little less flour. It should form a nice ball and not creep up your dough hook.
• Let the mixer knead the dough for 7 or 8 minutes.
• Place in an oil bowl, turn dough to cover with oil. Cover and rest in a warm draft free place for around an hour (may need longer). Dough should double, you will know when you push a finger in the center and it does not come back up.
• Punch down, form into two loaves and put in two loaf pans -- I do a big and small 9x5 pan and 8 1/2 by 4 /12. Be careful to shape as you want it, they will not smooth out as they rise.
• Cover and rise again until the dough is rounded over the tops of the pans.
• Cook at 375 for 35 minutes or until they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
• Remove to wire racks to cool to avoid the bottoms getting soggy. Top with the melted butter.
