If you're going to make oatmeal bread, don't accept some watered-down version, more white bread than whole grain. This dense-textured, moist sandwich loaf includes a generous measure of oats. It slices beautifully for sandwiches, makes absolutely delightful toast and, due to the oats, honey, and applesauce, stays fresh for days in your breadbox.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. oats

  • 2 1/4 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

  • 1/2 cup instant mashed potato flakes

  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 6 tbsp. butter

  • 1 tbsp. brown sugar

  • 2 tbsp. honey

  • 2 packets dry yeast

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats

  • 3/4 cup lukewarm water

Method

  • 01
    Combine the 3/4 cup water and oats, and let rest for 20 minutes. This gives the oats a chance to absorb the water and soften up.
  • 02
    If you're using active or "highly active" dry yeast, dissolve it in 2 tablespoons of the lukewarm water with a pinch of sugar. It should start to bubble as the oats and water rest.
  • 03
    Add the remaining ingredients to the oats (including the yeast/water/sugar mixture, if you're using active dry yeast), and mix and knead—by hand, electric mixer, or bread machine set on the dough cycle—until the dough feels springy; it will be quite stiff.
  • 04
    Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, and allow it to rise, covered, for 2 hours; it's a slow riser.
  • 05
    Gently deflate the dough, and shape it into an 8" log. Place it in a lightly greased 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan. Cover the pan loosely with lightly greased plastic wrap.
  • 06
    Allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, till it's crowned about 1 1/2" over the rim of the pan. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • 07
    Brush the top of the loaf with milk, and sprinkle with oats, if desired.
  • 08
    Bake the bread for 20 minutes. Tent it loosely with aluminum foil, and bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes. When the bread is done, it'll be golden brown, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center will register 190°F.
  • 09
    Remove the bread from the oven, wait 5 minutes, then turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool. Cool completely before slicing. Store well-wrapped at room temperature.
