Honey Oat Bread

Happy Friday, everyone! I’m still truckin’ along on my 3 week tri-state journey! Today, I’m in Utah visiting with some friends! Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting some other food bloggers that I’ve been following ever since I started Lauren’s Latest. Barbara from Barbara Bakes, Dara from Cookin’ Canuck and Donna from Our Apron Strings. These ladies are wonderful and inspiring. We had a great lunch together! The blogging community, especially the food blogging community, is one of the best ones out there! I love what I do!

Anyways, this recipe is one I came up with last week and it turned out to be delicious. Usually wheat bread is the thing nobody craves and is last item to leave my pantry. But making it from scratch, pulling it out of the oven and slathering a thick slice with some honey butter? I tell ya, it doesn’t get much better then that! Our loaf was gone in 24 hours…quite possibly less! Delicious plain, with butter and jam, toasted or turned into french toast.

I LOVE my carbs!

Because it’s the weekend, you guys can take your time to make this and then reap the delicious benefits all the while making your kitchen smell wonderful! Nothing beats fresh baked bread!

Does your family like wheat bread or white bread? Just wondering!

Have a great weekend! 🙂

    I was wondering if I missed something and didn’t see where oats were added to the dough. But since others mentioned it too, I guess I didn’t. Any reason why you didn’t add oats to the dough since it’s an oat bread?

    I made this bread and substituted 1/2 cup of the wheat flour with oats. I added 1 tbsp of vital gluten and also needed to add a touch more water. The bread is excellent.

    I don’t think it’s been baked in a machine – I think that’s just the shape that a loaf tin will give if the dough bursts out a little bit too much. It looks beautiful!

    I have to say though, I agree with auntiemaryann that it’s not really oat bread unless you actually put oats in it!

    I made a similar honey and sunflower seed bread yesterday, with some wheatbran added in for extra texture. You can really taste the honey – I think it’s a great addition to any loaf.

    It was so fun to get together for lunch! You’re little one is an angel. The bread looks great. I can almost smell it baking.
