Honey-Oatmeal Flax Bread
Mmmmm...there's nothing better than a house filled with the smell of fresh baked bread. This is one of my favorite bread recipes...an assortment of ~3 other recipes I have, jammed into one :) I usually double my recipe to make two loaves at once and then freeze one of the loaves. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
3c-3 1/2c. Flour
1/2 c. quick oats
1 tsp salt
1/4c. Honey
1/4c. Flax seeds
2 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened
1 package dry yeast
1c warm water
1 large egg
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 tbsp water
additional quick oats
1. Mix 1 1/2 c. flour, 1/2c oats, salt, honey, flax, butter, and yeast in large bowl. Add the warm water. Beat with electric mixer (kitchen-aid mixer rocks) for ~1min on low. Scrape bowl as needed. Beat additional minute on med speed. Beat in the 1 large egg. Stir in remaining flour 1/2c at a time until dough is easy to handle.
2. Turn dough out on lightly floured surface. Knead ~5-10 minutes. Place in large greased bowl (I spray with canola oil) and turn dough so all sides are greased. Cover and let rise in warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.
3. Punch down dough. Shape dough into a ball and place in greased pie plate. I use canola oil spray but you may use shortening. Flatten top of dough slightly. Mix egg white and 1 tbsp water. Brush on loaf and sprinkle with oats. Cover and let rise a second time for 45-60 minutes, until doubled.
4. Heat oven 375 and bake in pie plate for ~35 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on it, every oven is different, cook time make be shorter. Cool on wire rack.
