Oatmeal Wheat Sandwich Bread Food

OAT WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Warm the milk in a small saucepan to no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Sprinkle the yeast overtop and let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes; stir in the sugar.
• Whisk the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oatmeal, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and pour the milk mixture into the well. Stir until the dough has pulled together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
• Grease 2 8x4-inch loaf pans. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly-floured surface. Use a knife to divide the dough into two equal pieces - don't tear it. Shape into dough rounds and let rest for 10 minutes. Form the dough into loaves and place into the prepared pans. Cover 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 until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

OATMEAL WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Heat milk in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan over low heat until hot but not boiling, then remove pan from heat and stir in oats. Let stand, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooled to warm.
• Stir together water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon honey in a small bowl; let stand until foamy, 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, discard and start over with new yeast.) Stir yeast mixture, melted butter, and remaining honey into cooled oatmeal.
• Stir together whole-wheat flour, 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour, and salt in a large bowl. Add oat mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto a well-floured surface and knead with floured hands, adding just enough of remaining unbleached flour to keep from sticking, until dough is smooth, soft, and elastic, about 10 minutes (dough will be slightly sticky). Form dough into a ball and transfer to an oiled large bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel; let rise at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Lightly butter loaf pans. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead several times to remove air. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a loaf, then place 1 loaf in each buttered pan, seam side down, tucking ends gently to fit. Cover loaf pans loosely with a kitchen towel and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly brush tops of loaves with some of egg wash and sprinkle with oats, then bake until bread is golden and loaves sound hollow when tapped on bottom, 35 to 40 minutes. (Remove 1 loaf from pan to test for doneness. Run a knife around edge of pan to loosen.)
• Remove bread from pans and transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.

BREAD MACHINE OATMEAL WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Add water, butter and honey in the bread machine.
• Add dry milk, salt, white flour, wheat flour and wheat gluten.
• Add yeast.
• Make dough in bread maker using the wheat bread,dough cycle.
• Add rolled oats after the first knead or at the beep for adding fruit and nuts.
• Remove from bread machine and shape dough into a greased loaf pan or two small loaf pans.
• Sprinkle extra oats on top of loaf for added texture.
• Let rise approximately 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Lower heat to 350°F and bake for 30-40 minutes.
• *I usually bake the bread in the pan for the first 20 minutes and I complete the baking on a baking stone for a nice browned crust.

OATMEAL BUTTERMILK SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flours, salt, and yeast; make a well in the center and add the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter and stir to combine roughly. Add the oatmeal and knead or stir for several minutes until the batter is smooth and elastic but still sticky. Place in a large greased bowl and let rise until dough doubles in size, about an hour.
• Grease two bread pans. Divide the dough between the pans, smooth the tops with wet hands, cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until the bread is about 1/2 inch above the rim of the pans, about 1 hour.
• Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for 45 minutes, until the loaves are golden brown on top and make a hollow sound when thumped on the bottom. Remove from pans and cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

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.

OATMEAL WHEAT SANDWICH BREAD

Steps:

• Using bread machine:
• Add first 6 ingredients together in bread machine pan, let sit for 10 minutes until bubbly.
• Add vegetable oil, bread flour and salt. Let the bread machine mix and knead the dough. If dough is too stiff or too wet add a little more flour or water to make a smooth slightly sticky dough. Turn off bread machine before the rise cycle begins and put dough into a large oiled bowl to rise. Cover and let double in size ( about 35-45 minutes).
• Note: This recipe can be made by hand or mixed and kneaded with a kitchen-aid mixer. * If using all-purpose flour add 1 Tablespoon Vital wheat gluten.
• After first rise punch dough down and divide into two equal pieces. On a lightly oiled or floured surface; punch out air bubbles and shape each piece of dough into a loaf and place into two oiled 9x5 bread pans, cover and let rise again until double or until dough is about 1 inch over tops of pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. ( if getting too brown on top cover with foil last 15 minutes of baking) Remove from bread pans and turn out onto cooling rack. For softer crust spread butter over tops of loaves while still warm. Let cool at least 1 hour before slicing.
